I promise to make and to keep the political constitution of the United Mexican States and the laws that from it derive, and with loyalty and patriotism the position of the Republic that the public has given me, looking above all for the good and the prosperity of the Union; and if I don't the nation should demand it from me.Afterwards, the outgoing President passes him the Mexican flag (the Banda Presidential), which is worn from the left shoulder to the right rib, to the new President.
