American law specifies that the US presidential election happens in early November. It also specifies that the winner of that election isn’t actually sworn in until January 20th. That leaves about two and a half months in between, where, in situations where the incumbent has been voted out, the winner of the election still isn’t president. This is the “transition” period, during which the old administration trades places with the new one.
But does that period really need to be so long? In 2020, we found out what happens when an incumbent president loses reelection, but refuses to concede: Among other things, it pushes the start of the transition several weeks later, shortening that handover period. So does that matter? What actually happens in those two and a half months, and why do we let the loser continue to wield power for so long?

Well, did you observe the German Jamaica negotiations (Conservatives, greens, liberals)? That were several months which failed in the end. Expecting vox' audience know the term coalition lol
I think that part of the problem is that so many administrative positions are political appointees. In other countries, the Civil Service, the heads of the Armed Forces and even the head of the Post Office are all neutral posts.
If you have to change thousands of personnel every time the leader changes, then no wonder the system is slow.

To be fair the party system in the UK makes it a lot easier to transition.
You have people already within high positions taking the lead position, or those in shadow high positions taking the lead.
In the US, it could be someone who hasnt been in politics for years before the election.
Every country that uses Parliamentary system does this way.

@@pranavsinha7399 There is actual evidence of mismanagement; however, such evidences only unveil irregularities not actual fraud. For instance, there was a court case live stream where the prosecutor showed 3 vote counters, recorded on video, counting votes even after the republican watchers left. The video tapes are from security cameras within the room. The thing about this is that the video has no audio, and there is little context to it. Why would they keep counting when everyone was told to stop and go home? Moreover, why would they start counting right after the republican watchers left? That’s a clear irregularity that should be looked at; however, it does not prove a mass voter fraud since this only happened in ONE vote count center.

Awkward transition... hahahaha
@@bricefleckenstein9666 to be fair, Lincoln got a ridiculously low number of the Popular vote in his first term, as there were like 4 different Candidates with equal-ish chance of winning l.
@@trevorbishop5189 Just short of 40% of the popular vote, despite the "4 way major party split" in that election, and the Republican Party not being on the ballot AT ALL in most of the future Confederate states - and despite that latter fact, and South Carolina not having a popular vote at all, he still managed 180 out of 303 electorial votes thus avoiding a House "runoff".
Douglas was the only other candidate in shouting distance, at just under 30% of the popular vote.
BTW - Lincoln was only the SECOND lowest "popular vote" President in history so far and at least had a PLURALITY of the vote in HIS election.
John Quincy Adams in 1824 had less than 31% AND LESS THAN ANDREW JACKSON at 40%+ of the vote in that election (Jackson also had the plurality of the electoral votes).
Nobody had an outright majority of the Electoral College though which threw the election into the House.
Henry Clay (the "dropped" 4'th place candidate) threw his support to Adams, and that was enough to put Adams over the top in the House.
0:46 I like how orange slowly transitions to blue color. wonder if it's a subtle way to poke fun at Trump lol
It probably represents republican rule/president vs democrat rule/president, hence the orange/blue changing.
Why they didn't use red instead of orange is beyond me but Ssuming that that orange color represents trump's skin color would be in the same logical sense as it would be for me to say that the blue color represents biden's skin color.
We will never know.
I would have liked the question "why this period is much longer compared to most countries?" to be answered too !
Broadly speaking, European governments have governmental professionals who remain through transition from one political party to the next, other than the highest ministers, which are put in place via a straightforward appointment system. The USA appoints their highest and assistant level officials, nominated by the President, and argued over by Congress, mainly the Senate. The stripping of executive management requires more transition time and the size of the US Federal system clogs the confirmation process, even when the Senate is friendly and the outgoing administration is gracious, neither of which apply here.
Vox is not a media group that gives people answers. They are partisan just like every other news publication. This video was just a bash on trump for questioning the results of the election.

...every states certify election result differently; that being say, usually because they have to count every votes which take a few amount of time.

For instance, California will always go blue and Texas will always go red and even though they can call on candidate early, it still have week of counting voted and certify it.

I was so confused about this too (I live in the UK). Like why do you guys change your teams every new president? We have a civil service which stays the same no matter the administration, allowing an actually smooth transition.

Daniel Walker They are provided at different rates because different networks sometime receive the data at different times, what the heck are you alleging? That media systems just make up the votes as they go? What the heck is wrong with you?
I don't understand why anyone is throwing a fit about this.
I'm just glad that we don't have to deal with Trump anymore.
same
He can still run 2024
you sure about that? :(
@@user-qk4bl4rs1e I think we learned our lesson
lol you think he just disappears when he is no longer in charge? He will probably buy CNN (its for sale) and turn it into TNN
America is like that really cool kid at school whose parents abuse him at home
America is a third world country wearing a gucci belt
more like the bully at school
America should invade the U.S. to bring them "Freedom and Democracy" like in other countries. SMH
@@RayyanAshraf Third world country... No. No. No. USA has much higher standards compared to actual third world countries. You need to learn more about your countries..
America, cool? No. America is the kid with chickenpox who's parents still sent them to school. When the headteacher calls the parents to ask them to remove their infectious sprog it transpires they are anti vaxxers. They also get drunk before parent's evening and threaten the teacher because surely little Timmy doesn't deserve an F.
TLDR: bureaucracies are not known for their ability to pivot quickly.
It wasn't long before this year, but now it most certainly feels like it.
Thankfully the 20th Amendment, the brainchild of Sen. George Norris, is in place. Can you imagine waiting until March 4th?!
Trump: That doesn't work for me BROTHER
Biden: **Sees the white house** I saw someone in the basement
Secret service: Oh that's just Trump
Can’t wait to see Trump getting dragged out of the secret service January 20th lol🤣🤣🤣
@Alexander Ortiz whatever racist🙄
Biden is the basement guy
@@jdamah
In 4 years he could be lol
@@jdamah Trump has been hiding in his basement since he lost the election.
I bet Trump is going to play hide and seek to stay in the white house as long as he can
I think in the UK it’s easier because everyone who works for the government (called civil servants) has to be ‘politically neutral’ so they don’t have to rehire everyone
Its called basic respect and decorum between leaders. Trump is so petty and childish.
And let’s not forget how Biden talks is childish stutters like a kid asking a question in class
@@user-lo8ju3qf2owhy would u criticize Biden on his 'Stutter' when Trump is 70-something and still hasn't learned to be mature?

Biden: i won the election
Trump: *i pretend i do not see* -👄-
if Obama was a good president and then Trump came right after him, I wonder who will come after Biden...
Biden: I’m going to pretend massive fraud didn’t take place, that I actually won in swing states and that more than 70 million Trump supporters don’t existed.
Trump: I’m going to pretend you don’t exist

''Why does USa take too long to switch presidents''
At least you got to switch, in turkey the same man in charge for nearly 20 years
0:00 Those pictures of Obama's kids from 2008 look more like pictures from the 90's than the actual pictures from the 90's shown here
Facts.
I guess that's because theyre from the 2000s, and the 2000s haven't made a comeback like the 90s did. So they seem more badly aged
Still hasn't explained why US waits 2.5 months. UK does it in a couple of days. Getting new staff in and getting them up to speed in various departments doesn't have to happen before the new leader is in charge. The whole thing is bizarre.
I think the US has a lot more appointed positions rather than permeant ones.
The U.K.'s government isn't as big. It's like saying "Why doesn't the City of New York just use a single one room schoolhouse like my village of 100 people does??"
Even just the election process in America is on a scale the U.K. couldn't conceive of, and the states need time to certify their votes. That's why the electoral vote is in December. The certification of the electoral votes doesn't happen until January 6th.
In some places in Africa, the transition is super swift - just call the out going president incoming... Easy
or yet swifter when the outgoing gets shot
Presidentla incagurations: now with 50% more swearing.

Not funny
@@fazejummo2488 I can decide for myself whether something is funny or not by myself thank you very much.
I wonder if Trump will steal any treasures like art or vases from the White House
Considering how much he has already stolen from America, he just might!
That would be Melania cause she is a gold digger
:))))))))
What do you bet this was Putin's plan all along, it was just a big jewellery heist.
He's already taken stuff from the US Embassy in France. Turns out what he took were actually copies, not the originals, but that wasn't known til after Cheetoh returned to the US and the Embassy folks mentioned it to the press....
very informative video. one of those questions I didn't know I had until I found the video.
It’s really funny sorting by new and seeing all of the people in denial thinking trump won
@Ian Meijer cry harder
Correct answer: so the losing president has time to cover his crimes
What has Obama done about his countless of war crimes.
@@lau6438
Lol😂
Thats what Biden is doing right now he's under investigation
@@WayneTwitch Biden is under investigation because of trump, not because he was accused of anything
I'm quite looking forward to seeing Trump dragged out of the White House like Assange was hauled out of the Ecuadorian embassy if he refuses to leave.
You have to wait......
To confirm the vote 😎
It's still a long way to 20th January 2021...
What, seriously??? But, but I thought Trump was illegally sitting in the white house and refusing to leave.... Wow, what contradicting information.
No one ever said illegally, just very ill advised and dangerously.
*Elect a clown, expect a circus*
In my country, the the last transfer of power took over three weeks, and it really felt like it was being dragged out. I think it helps that Canada has permanent public service with very few truly only political appointees directly tied to the Minister.
I was waiting for them to show the capitol riot but then i read the description
This video should have been done in like, April 2021.
Its December 2024 and RUclips recommended you this video after four years.
