It is hypothetically possible.
Even without taking the oath, the President-elect becomes President at noon on the 20th of January. That is why, despite claims to the contrary, David Rice Atchinson did not become president for a day because General Taylor refused to be sworn in on Sunday March 4, 1849, but waited until after the usual Christian sabbath.
What is President-Elect Trump happens to die before Jan. 20? Would Vice-President Elect Pence become President on Jan. 20?
Yes
