IMHO the time he's sworn in doesn't matter, he becomes illegitimate POTUS at 12:00.
This is actually how its works... it just states he shall take the oath before his duty starts it does not specify before or after he has become president...
This is correct. POTUS at noon no matter what. Cannot assume duty until oath is sworn.
Usually, the VP is sworn in a little before noon, then honors, then POTUS is sworn in right at noon-ish, then honors, then POTUS speech.
