Every president, including the first president, George Washington, took the oath of office. The taking of this oath is required by the US Constitution :

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
The first president to take oath of the office is President James Buchanan === ===
