Actually, Constitution and, as far as I know, no act required President to be sworn-in by CJ, or anyone to adminster it. It just mention taking an oath.

As of VP, same.

Richard Nixon wss sworn-in, twice, by Senator William F. Knowland.

Spiro Agnew wa sworn-in in 1969 by Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen.

By the way the First Congress passed an oath act on June 1, 1789, authorizing only senators to administer the oath to the Vice President (who serves as the president of the Senate)
