# Sheinbaum is sworn in as Mexico’s first woman president

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 1 October 2024 at 11:31 CST [Claudia Sheinbaum](/people/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.

## Evidence and sources

Presidency of Mexico carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed peaceful transfer on the constitutional date.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1 October 2024 oath, independently reported.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

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. Sheinbaum is sworn in as Mexico’s first woman president on 2024-10-01 is not a licence to treat every later Presidency of Mexico communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Sheinbaum is sworn in as Mexico’s first woman president into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Congress received the oath. She took it. The outgoing president handed the sash via the Chamber president. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
