Explainer: How and when will Trump leave office?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Reuters) - The United States has a long history of peaceful transfers of power that is likely to continue despite President Donald Trump's attacks on the legitimacy of the election result, national security experts said.

Here is what to expect in the weeks and months to come.

DOES TRUMP FACE A DEADLINE TO LEAVE OFFICE?

Yes. The U.S. presidential election is not formally over. Electors - party loyalists who typically pledge to support the candidate who gets the most votes in their state - will convene on Dec. 14 to formally cast their votes. The newly seated Congress accepts the results from the Electoral College on Jan. 6. If Biden wins the Electoral College vote, as expected, he will be sworn in at noon on Jan. 20 — a date set in the Constitution.

CAN BIDEN TRANSITION INTO POWER OVER TRUMP'S OBJECTIONS?

Yes. Trump has only so much power to slow Biden's transition.

A law called the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 makes career civil servants vital to the transfer of power. They face deadlines for providing data and access to incoming officials.

2. Delaying the transition

puts the nation in danger. At Noon on Jan. 20, Biden needs to be totally up to speed. Trump, in trying to deny that is a slap to all Americans, yet the Right-wingers are all for it.

On the conservative forum people were asking if Trump could reject Biden's security clearance to delay the transition......Those folks are grasping at straws. It is a pathetic display.
