# Bukele is sworn in as president of El Salvador

Date: 2019

## The fact

On 1 June 2019 [Nayib Bukele](/people/nayib-bukele) was sworn in as president.

## Context

The Assembly still sat in opposition hands. Neighbouring soldiers 2020 is later. Neighbouring TCP is a child security plan.

3 February 2019 is the parent election. 9 February 2020 is later.

The President of El Salvador heads the executive, commands the armed forces, and can request a state of exception that the Legislative Assembly must approve and extend. He does not write a Constitutional Chamber judgment by himself, an IMF board decision, or a [US Treasury](/organizations/us-treasury) designation. The Assembly, PNC, Fiscalía, and prison service share specific files. A homicide print is not a unique due-process coefficient. Gang membership is not proven by detention alone.

## Evidence and sources

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

## Significance

The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed oath after a first-round win is a dated transfer instrument.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1 June 2019 oath, independently reported.

Not established: that every later decree was this ceremony, or a unique later homicide coefficient from the sash.

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.

The Assembly sat. He took the oath. The outgoing government handed over.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Bukele is sworn in as president of El Salvador on 2019-06-01 is not a licence to treat every later Presidency of El Salvador communique as this same act. This dossier refuses to average Bukele is sworn in as president of El Salvador into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Voters had elected. The Assembly sat. He took the oath. The outgoing government handed over. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
