The US Constitution enshrines this concept in law by not requiring the President to work on Sundays.
Huh? I can't find any such exemption. Can you point it out? There is a custom that formal inaugurations are not held on Sunday. But even then the incoming President still takes the oath, usually in private. The formal swearing in is repeated on the following day.

(It's sad when there is no one running for President that I can vote for with a clear conscience.)

Huh? I can't find any such exemption. Can you point it out? Sure. Article I, Section 7, Paragraph 2.
If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
