Sure it does. The very first sentence of the 3rd post answers your question:

> [@If Trump loses, what does it mean "He won't go quietly."?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-trump-loses-what-does-it-mean-he-wont-go-quietly/923352/3):

> He can fuss and scream, but at noon on Inauguration Day, Secret Service will physically drag him out the White House.

It doesn’t address this portion of your question: “would be able to remove him from office in order to swear Biden in?” because Trump doesn’t need to be removed from office to swear Biden in. Biden just gets sworn in, and Trump is dragged from the building.
