Good will and gentleman’s agreements are only as good as the degree to which the parties contain the former and are the latter.

I’d like to hear how the transition went between Bush I and Clinton. That was the last time a sitting President was defeated for re-election. From what I remember, it went rather smoothly.
Perhaps the new legislation ought to deal with petulant, narcissistic imbeciles who refuse to accept reality. Like, turning them out of office automatically so they have time to work through their mental issues?

Much easier in a parliamentary system with a full-fledged ‘shadow’ government and no states.

‘He made me do it’ from yet ANOTHER quarter. Trump was a petty, revenge filled shthead that shouldn’t have had the ‘power’ to disrupt the transfer of power…especially one based on LIES.

“Presidents Bush and Obama instructed their Cabinet agencies to cooperate with the transition. That wasn’t the case this time around.”
At best, Donald Trump was inept. I believe he was malicious. In fact, I believe he was employing a strategy given to him by Vladimir Putin — seize the courts, then shut down the legislature.

When the Conservative party in Britain boots out one P.M., the next is likely to be from the same party, thus avoiding a real transition.
