Fortunately, the president does not have that authority.
We do not need the outgoing presidents permission or even presence in order to swear in a new president.
Each state has the sole authority to certify that state's electoral votes. The only federal counting occurs in the House of Representatives and it is witnessed by everyone in congress. Kinda tough to challenge that count.
