Have a GREAT and RESTFUL Break!

 

Transfer of Power

 Something that happens every four years in America is a transfer of power!  America elects a new president every four years.  Right now you need 270 Electoral Votes to win!  Check out 270towin.com!   It shows every presidential race since George Washington's presidency!  It is fun to look at!

The 1790s the Federalist Party had the Power then in the Election of 1800 Thomas Jefferson won!  A new party, the Democrat Republicans, was in power!  This was the first time in American History there was a transfer of power!  It was such a BIG deal that history remembers it as the Revolution of 1800!  People were nervous it would not go well?  And to a nice surprise the transfer of power was PEACEFUL!!!!

Every President since Washington has had a transfer of power, and if they lost the race they concede!  Right now our sitting President lost the election and is refusing to concede, and help with a transition!  It is crazy to think about!  But watch what happens!

We have a new president!!!

 November 7, 2020 America declared a new President of the United States - Joe Biden!!!!  It will interesting to see what happens next!  No matter how you feel about the Biden/Harris Administration you must acknowledge for the first time a black woman was elected Vice President of the United States!

We Lost A Giant!

 

She was known as RBG, and she was an Icon!  Her image was on masks, hats, t-shirts, and so much more!  But her name was Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and she was on the Supreme Court!  She was nominated by President Clinton, and there was a collective sadness when the world heard she passed!  RBG was in her 80s and sadly had Pancreatic Cancer!  

As a history teacher it will be interesting  to see what happens next!  Watch the process - we will all see it unfold on TV!

It is the right thing to do!
