On 1 October 2024 at 11:31 CST Claudia Sheinbaum took the oath as president. Ifigenia Martínez placed the sash.
Context
2 June election sat as parent. Neighbouring judicial amendment had already been published on 15 September. She did not sit as every foreign guest.
2 June 2024 election is the parent. Organic simplification December 2024 is later.
The President of Mexico heads the federal executive, promulgates laws Congress sends, and commands the armed forces. She does not write an INE tally, a SCJN judgment, a US tariff schedule, or a cartel killing by herself. Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s earlier statutes are not her later decrees unless she re-enacted them. A disappearance print is not a unique due-process coefficient.
Why it matters
The path is democratic resilience: a completed peaceful transfer on the constitutional date.

Evidence
The sources behind this fact and its verification state.

- 2.Presidencia — organic-simplification and transparency functions moved into the executivePresidency of Mexico · High credibility · verified
What the sources establish
Presidency of Mexico carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.
Established: 1 October 2024 oath, independently reported.
She took it. The outgoing president handed the sash via the Chamber president.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Sheinbaum is sworn in as Mexico’s first woman president, not a later speech about Sheinbaum is sworn in as Mexico’s first woman president.
Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Congress received the oath. She took it. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
