This is because once we elect a president in November, the two administrations have plenty time to leave and enter the White House by January. I believe March is too long for the president elected by the people to take office. ]]> 2020-10-08 11:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/3573242/g34kmt25ukh876o2/wish/813380785 3573242 https://padlet.com/3573242/g34kmt25ukh876o2/wish/813387741 2020-10-08 11:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/3573242/g34kmt25ukh876o2/wish/813387741 3573242 https://padlet.com/3573242/g34kmt25ukh876o2/wish/813393851 2020-10-08 11:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/3573242/g34kmt25ukh876o2/wish/813393851 3573242 https://padlet.com/3573242/g34kmt25ukh876o2/wish/813395350 2020-10-08 11:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/3573242/g34kmt25ukh876o2/wish/813395350
