The Law Is There’s No Presidential Transition Until Congress Certifies the Election
Front Page Magazine ^ | Fri Nov 13, 2020 | Daniel Greenfield

Even though the votes are still being counted, Joe Biden declared that he is the President-Elect, a shadow government office invented by Obama and invested with a pseudo-government seal, and he has been holding fake briefings and taking phone calls with foreign leaders.

The United States only has one president at a time. Maintaining a fake shadow presidency undermines the sitting administration to the American people and to foreign governments.

It’s illegal and inappropriate. So the Democrats are doing it anyway.

Incoming presidents, since Truman’s day, receive briefings and, since Kennedy’s day, get funding for their transition teams, but, according to the law, only once it’s clear who won. The last time this happened, the Bush transition was blocked by Democrats until December.

But the media is boosting its Biden cable network coup by threatening the head of the GSA.

A week after the election, the media descended on Emily Murphy, the head of the General Services Administration (GSA), demanding that she release funds to a Biden transition.

Media hit pieces like the New York Times' "How Emily Murphy Stands Between Biden's Team", Bloomberg's "Who Is the GSA's Emily Murphy, Trump Appointee Holding Up Biden Transition", and the Washington Post's "Trump Appointee at GSA Declines to Sign Letter Authorizing Biden Transition", personalized the issue and set off a lynch mob swiftly leading to threats against her.

It’s still early in November. The media conveniently forgot the time its party blocked a presidential transition for over 4 weeks, not just through November, but into December.

The absolute deadline is the date the presidential term expires.

In 1876 Congress did not take a final vote until the day before...

Electoral college votesDec 13. Last day for “safe harbor” caleenges is Dec 8th.

Those dates are statutory.

Congress announces the results January 5th.

No one has certified an election yet. I believe states start doing that over the next two weeks.

There is plenty of time. One was to wonder why EVERYONE is all worked up, when the process is there for everyone to see.

From the title:
....Until Congress Certifies the Election.

Congress shall be in Joint Session on January 6 following the election for such purpose.
3 USC 15.
