Can I ask a question here? Why the bloody hell, does the US leave a defeated President in office for 2 months, before installing the bloke [Biden] that defeated him? Is this something to do with the US constitution? I understand that vote counting can take some days or even weeks in certain circumstances, if counting is close...that happens everywhere. I just cannot understand for the life of me, why Trump after losing all his so called challenges, can still linger in that position, and potentially create and pass new laws and legislation that can stifle the incoming President. Can someone please educate me as to this apparent anomaly in US politics?

A lot of the delay in these processes were accommodations to travel time in days of yore. Consider having to take a slow train across the country to deliver papers (e.g. electoral college ballots) 140 years ago or, before that, making a trip on a stagecoach. And this is after hand-counting ballots in each state, and certifying the elections. I’m guessing that took weeks, back in the day.

Likem both, one a little more. I'm sure you know me enough already to know which one.
