Some of them think that Trump signed some law that gives him control of the military for 60 days after Biden's inauguration

Fact check: Presidential Transition Enhancement Act does not allow for former president to maintain control of the military until March

Posts circulating several weeks into the start of President Joe Biden’s administration claim that under the Presidential Transition Enhancement Act of 2019, former President Donald Trump “retains control of the military until 60 days after the inauguration of a new President” and that according to the U.S. Constitution, “the full transition of power does not occur until March.” This claim is false.

Signed into law by former President Trump on March 3, 2020, the bipartisan “Presidential Transition Enhancement Act,” which the House of Representatives passed unanimously, “makes changes intended to smooth the transfer of executive power during presidential transitions” by amending the Presidential Transition Act of 1963.

As explained by the Congressional Budget Office (www.cbo.gov/publication/55008), the law limits “the period during which services and facilities are provided to Presidential transition teams by the General Services Administration (GSA),” sets “a timeline for GSA to enter into memorandums of understanding with Presidential campaigns to prepare for potential transitions,” and authorizes “the executive branch to pay legislative branch employees to work for the President-elect or Vice President-elect during transition periods.”

Even though March 20th is the next date, don't focus on the exact date because it IS going to happen. Trump is controlling Biden and the military from Florida. Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are more believable!
