Constitutionally speaking, the President-Elects' term starts at noon on Jan 20. Trump's term started on Jan 20, 2017 regardless of whether he had taken the oath by that specific moment.
I don't think so. I THINK, that IF something happened at the end of Obama's reign, the day his presidency ended and Trump was supposed to be inaugurated, the job would have fallen to Biden since a president is term limited... ORRRRR, would Pence take the oath?Right, but during election is there a president??? I can think of a few scenarios that would happen:
1. The current president would remain in office until the next election, or there would have to be another special election
where they had to pick another Republican.
2. Because it was Trump and Clinton Running, the position would fall to the other person.
3. As mention before, the president cannot perform his duties, and Ryan is in.
Just kind of funny to think about.
Dear livespive:
Before I could respond to your mythical scenarios, I would need clarification as to what you mean by "during an election." Do you mean during the primary? On election day? Between election day and the Jan. 20 Inauguration? Or what?

To what I said before, though... Biden's term would have ended with Obama's. So would it not fall to the SOH (Paul Ryan) who still had (has) time left on his term in office? And that would just be temporary until the SC ruled how to proceed (designate Hillary, or order another election).I can see the Biden Scenario as well. Pence could not take the oath because he would have been in the mix up with Trump
and they both would have been "disqualified"

You do mean Foolboohoo right?... but forum members such as bbfreeburn and toolguru may likely "drool" over the prospects.
It would be Ryan to fill out the full term until the next election. End of story.
To say he leads the free world is an insult to the rest of the free world. For example, is he the leader of England? I rather doubt it as he was, more or less, invited NOT to visit England.Oh, are we picking nits today?
England is not part of the free world. It's a monarchy and a socialist economy.To say he leads the free world is an insult to the rest of the free world. For example, is he the leader of England? I rather doubt it as he was, more or less, invited NOT to visit England.

Still crying because his girl couldn't even cheat her way in.Dear bbfreeburn:
Whether technically correct or not, Barack Hussein Obama, George Walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton (and their predecessors) were all referred to as the leader of the free world. Did you take issue with any previous presidents being referred to as such, or are you annoyed only by a Trump reference?
