it's an interesting conundrum for state apparatus during the period of transition. Technically, did the driver disobey the order a sitting President by refusing to drive to the rally? At what point does the President lose authority.<p>In most countries transition happens asap - on the day or within days of vote results. In the US, there is this weird 2-3 month period where the sitting President can dispute the results and use the machinery of the state to try and overturn them. It's a recipe for disaster
