Read A12. All it specifies is POTUS term expiration. Noon of Jan. 20. What it does not specify is when a RE-ELECTED and STILL CURRENT POTUS needs to be sworn in (inauguration is just a celebration, a different thing, really). A NEWLY elected, yes, of course, date/time of Noon Jan. 20, but not for a sitting one who has been re-elected. I found absolutely no reference to a specific date to take oath for a SITTING POTUS in the Constitution, save for the original inauguration/oath by March 4. If you do, please let me know since I spent hours researching this exact question prior to Jan. 20.
In the past, through the original Constitution mandate, it used to be all on same day of inauguration, MARCH 4, oath and inauguration. That was all thrown out the window in 1933 when libtards tried a similar coup against Roosevelt and the only way out was to amend the expiration date to Noon of Jan. 20. We now have the Constitution say inauguration BY March 4, but A20 now sets oath taking NO LATER than Jan. 20 FOR NEWLY ELECTED ONE, but nothing about an earlier date for a RE-ELECTED one. So, we have 2 dates for 2 different events, in practice, while trying to achieve same goal. The libtard way. Or, as Russians put it, Through the ass (Через жопу).
This was right after I read that interesting theory about Trump taking the oath for next term on Jan. 11. WH site itself published a very terse and, some thought, bizarre statement that day stating "Trump's term ended today, Jan. 11" (something to that effect), but also rather vague in what it really means and nothing about second term or Xiden newly elected one. Truly bizarre since Trump was still acting POTUS and calling the shots for days after, right? FEMA, head, NSA attorney, Declaration of Emergency in D.C., etc.
Its still a head scratcher for some, including me. So, evidence wise, I cannot find any. Actions wise, since Jan. 11? Hmmm... Plenty of proof since Trump could not "end his term of POTUS" while also calling shots that ONLY a POTUS could. Making that Jan. 11 theory kind of looking believable.
