When does President Obama leave office? Here are the key dates to know.

After securing a surprise victory on Election Day, President-elect Donald Trump is getting ready to park his moving van outside of the White House, the home of our current president, Barack Obama.

When does Obama leave office?

According to the 20th Amendment, the terms of both the president and the vice president officially come to a close at 12 noon on January 20.
