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!
