Uh, isn't this kinda problematic when it comes to the separation of powers, even if it's symbolic?

It's interesting the Vice Presidents were sworn-in by various people, not just Justices. It used to be common for outgoing VP to swear in the new one. Sometimes Speaker performed the function, or a Senator (Dirksen swore-in Agnew).
