The Oath of Office:
"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."
"Affirm" has been used only once, by President Franklin Pierce; most Presidents also end the Oath by saying "So help me God", but that's not really part of the Oath, and the practice was started some time in the late 1800s. Also, since 1933, every president has added their name into the Oath (i.e., "I, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, do solemnly swear...").

First he has to be legally elected as President or else become president by succession. Second he must be "sworn in" by taking the oath of office before a person who is legally qualified to administer oaths.
Both the Oath of Office and the requirement that the President take care that the laws be faithfully executed are specified in the US Constitution.
