If the founders of this Nation would have had foresight and saw this train wreak coming they might have put in some special clause in the Constitution to speed up the Inauguration Day of passing the baton on to the next President with a out of control President from January 20th to some time in November.

The Founders set up a system with election in early November and transfer of power the following March. The change to January happened during FDR’s time, if I recall correctly.

While an outgoing president can do damage, I also recognize that there is a lot to be done in a transition. I don’t see how you could do it in less than a month.

There should be a 48-hr transition period. 2+ months is far, far too long to let a dangerous, narcissistic, psychopath, muslim, racist, liar, traitor - like 0bummer - stay in office and do such damage, after being soundly beaten at the ballot box.

I’ve been thinking for a few years now, that anytime the House, Senate, or President changes party, there should be no business allowed outside of bare minimum. But I like your idea better. ONE month max. Two weeks would be better.

I hope Romney has is first Executive order written repealing all EO’s passed in the last four years.
