Right and when they timestamped the inauguration later in the day the process of swearing in was started before noon. I would think that would ? change the legitimacy.
As I mentioned, the timing of the oath is irrelevant (I know it was completed at about 12 minutes before noon). The old President is done at noon (as per the 20th Amendment) and the new President takes over at that point.
This is not something that matters from a constitutional standpoint.
Or perhaps im completely incorrect in what I am perceiving.
You are. Nothing was missing in the oath and the time the oath occurs is not relevant.
The Presidencies change over at noon exactly. Old President is out, the new President is in. 20th Amendment, I believe.
Yes. Unless Trump has done something "behind the scenes" Biden is the """legitimate""" president.
You know, """"""""legitimate""""""""
