However symbolic things like not swearing him in I like. Those are good ways to make a symbolic point while the process of democracy can continue.

I just mean if the political norm is that swear people who win elections, then we should swear the guy who won the election in. That doesn't mean all the other stuff can't happen. I'm just pretty fearful of the world of possibilities where it's socially acceptable to not swear someone in because you are unhappy with them.
Hey if I'm the Mayor in the sentence before the oath of office I say right in front of everyone "Sean Chu, you are unfit for office and should step down right now, but we respect democracy, and will play this charade as long as you choose not to do the right thing".
