On 1 June 2024 Nayib Bukele was sworn in for a second consecutive term. The 2025 term-cut-and-indefinite reform is a neighbouring later child, not this copy.

Context

Ulloa sat as vice president. Neighbouring 4 February is the parent. Neighbouring 31 July 2025 is later. He did not write the 2025 text as this ceremony.

4 February 2024 is the parent election. 31 July 2025 is later. 2027 is not completed here.

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 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.

Why it matters

The path is democratic resilience: a completed second oath after a certified vote is a dated transfer instrument.

What the sources establish

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

Established: 1 June 2024 second oath, independently reported.

The Assembly sat. He took the oath. Foreign guests sat.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Bukele is sworn in for a second consecutive term, not a later speech about Bukele is sworn in for a second consecutive term.

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 Voters had elected. The Assembly sat. He took the oath. Foreign guests sat. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
