65 Here's what is known. By Constitution, a President's term ends at noon on Jan. 20. Biden need only recite the oath to take the power of the office. If he doesn't or can't, then Harris can. So something needs to happen before noon on Jan. 20 to change the process. So, 7.5 days to change the world. posted 3 years ago by WinsAnon 3 years ago by WinsAnon +65 / -0 http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/inaugurationconstit.html 22 comments share 22 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Who has to give the oath?
It can be anyone. It has historically been the Chief Justice. What's important under the Constitution is that the president "take" the oath, not important who gives it.
Justice Roberts
OF COURSE.
Chief Pedo Roberts.
