I thought that Pence deserved all the credit for saving the country , there are unsung heroes that deserve some credit, Chris Liddell is one of them , without his work we wouldn’t have a country either, the planning and execution of the transition from one administration to the next takes usually more than a year and the refusal of some departments to cooperate made this almost impossible.

Here is an interview with Chris Liddell , the host is the same person who wrote the article, in this podcast they touch some of the same points but they also talk about some new ones , this was recorded the day before president Biden took office.

Finally here is a summary of the transition process and the law that applies , when I first read about it I found out how important is to have the full cooperation of the outgoing administration as well as the incoming one , the law is not perfect and nobody expected Trump to behave the way he did , that has to change and hopefully the law will improve to prevent that from happening again, I had no idea it was this complex.

And finally;
“ Under the new law, post-election transition services begin immediately after a concession. Absent a concession within 5 days of the election, services begin automatically for all remaining eligible candidates – and will conclude for all but one apparent successful candidate when Congressionally-established factors are met.

As a result of this change, an affirmative “ascertainment” by GSA is no longer a prerequisite for gaining transition support services.”
