There’s no “another day” if this admin was seated. People need to get that through their thick skulls. The fix stays in and the derps control all the election apparatus.

20th amendment. noon ends the old and immediately begins the new.

Section 1—The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.

Arguably, swearing in allows him to execute the duties of the office he's just taken. Most think the oath adds no additional powers to the president.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 8:
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:–I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States".
