CK • Washington.   trump als Wahlverlierer ist nach dem Presidential Trans­iti­on Act of 1963 zur Unterstützung Bidens nach der Wahl verpflichtet. Das Gesetz bezweckt durch den beabsichtigen orderly Transfer der Macht, schwere Nach­tei­le für das Land zu vermeiden:

Sec. 2. The Congress declares it to be the purpose of this Act to pro­mote the orderly transfer of the executive power in connection with the expiration of the term of office of a President and the in­au­gu­ration of a new President. The national interest requires that such trans­itions in the office of President be accomplished so as to as­su­re con­tinuity in the faithful execution of the laws and in the con­duct of the affairs of the Federal Government, both domestic and foreign. Any disruption occasioned by the transfer of the exe­cu­ti­ve po­wer could produce results detrimental to the safety and well-be­ing of the United States and its people. Accordingly, it is the intent of the Congress that appropriate actions be authorized and taken to avoid or minimize any disruption. In addition to the specific provisions contained in this Act directed toward that purpose, it is the intent of the Congress that all officers of the Government so conduct the af­fairs of the Government for which they exercise responsibility and autho­ri­ty as (1) to be mindful of problems occasioned by transitions in the office of President, (2) to take ap­pro­pri­ate lawful steps to avoid or minimize disruptions that might be occasioned by the trans­fer of the executive power, and (3) other­wi­se to promote or­der­ly transitions in the office of President.

§3 verpflichtet die Bundesverwaltungsministerium in Washington, DC, die notwendige Ausstattung den offenbar Gewählten zu gewähren. Die ab­schließende Feststellung des Wahlergebnisses fordert das Gesetz nicht:

(c)The terms ‘President-elect’ and ‘Vice-President-elect’ as used in this Act shall mean such persons as are the apparent successful can­didates for the office of President and Vice President, re­spec­ti­vely, as ascertained by the Administrator following the ge­ne­ral elec­tions held to determine the electors of President and Vice Pre­si­dent in accordance with title 3, United States Code, sec­ti­ons 1 and 2.

Am 14. November 2020 verstößt trump noch gegen dieses Gesetz: trump fährt mit hocherhobenem Schopf, Nase und Daumen zum Million MAGA Marsch sei­ner etwa 1500 Anhänger, die die Umwelt und die Prachtstraße Washingtons mit Lügen und wirren Reden von einer Pflicht zur Einstellung der Wahlauszählung sowie der Wahlannullierung verpesten.
