It isn’t even something that could be done and then challenged in the court later. It is a representative of the Supreme Court who does the actual swearing in.

And as the constitution automatically ends his second term exactly 4 years after it began, he can’t claim to still be the president in the absence of anyone else being sworn in. He just *stops* being president, and that’s it. For anyone to treat him as such afterwards would be a naked political coup which would require military backing. So unless you’re suggesting that’s where the US is heading … well, just accept it, he has 4 years to go and then that’s it.

And then becomes Emperor ,I've seen this movie
