On March 4th 1801 the second President of the United States John Adams refused to hand over office to his main rival at the 1800 election Thomas Jefferson.
The rule of midday January 20 had not been written yet. Despite his stubbornness the office simply left him.
After Thomas Jefferson was sworn in at an event which the incumbent refused to attend, White House staff started to remove the President’s belongings from the White House (Adams was the first President to reside at the new official residence).
All security organs cut all official communication. All Presidential staff stopped taking instructions from Adams.
From that time, it was decided that all incumbents at the White House prepare early to leave in-case they see signs of losing to avoid humiliation by the independent organs of state.
As soon as Vice President Joe Biden clinches the 270 votes and is officially declared by all returning officers in the States the following is going to happen:
1. The Secret Service divides its attention between the outgoing and the incoming President.
2. The CIA begins to brief both the incumbent and the incoming president; including Top Secret Intelligence which is traditionally reserved for one individual, the Commander in Chief.
3. The Counter Intelligence teams of the CIA which ‘spy’ on the CIA also begin to brief both principals.
4. White House staff begin to prepare to re-do the house in-line with the taste of the President elect.
5. At Midday on January 20, White House staff remove all his belongings from the house and bring in the belongings of the new President.
6. The deductions for White House rent on Trump’s salary stops.
7. The deductions for White House rent begins on Joe Biden’s Presidential salary in January.
8. Melania Trump stops being the boss of White House on January 20 at midday.
9. Dr. Jill Biden becomes the boss of White House on January 20 at midday.
10. At midday on January 20 all the power organs of the US; The Pentagon, The CIA, The FBI, The Attorney General, cut official communication with Trump. The Secret Service however, will maintain minimal communication since it’s going to guard the Ex- President for all his life.
11. The president’s official means of transport; BEAST and AIRFORCE ONE salutes Trump for the last time and move their attention to Biden. The BEAST begins to carry Biden’s blood samples as is the tradition.
The transition that has been in effect for 200 years will carry on, even as President Donald Trump awaits his challenge to the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s win.
