Pretty sure that it's until the next person is sworn in. Once the next person is sworn in, then he can be removed physically as none of the services are answerable to him. He does have the period between the election and signing day where he has powers to do all manner of crazy stuff, like forcing martial law as the easiest example, to try and make sure the next person can't be sworn in.
