It’s something outgoing presidents traditionally talk about when turning over the White House to an incoming president …
Like Bill Clinton in 2001 – his final radio address:
“The peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next, from one party to another, may confound others around the globe. But it reflects the underlying strength of our Constitution and rule of law.”
And George H.W. Bush in 1992 – after he lost re-election to Bill Clinton:
“ I can think of nothing other to say than say let's finish this job with style. Let's get the job done, cooperate fully with the new administration. The Government goes on, as well it should, and we will support the new President and give him every chance to lead this country into greater heights.”
What have other presidents said about the peaceful transfer of power?
Which president – in his Inaugural address – called the peaceful transfer of power a “miracle”?
And how many former, current, and incoming presidents once gathered in the Oval Office – to assure a peaceful transfer of power -- and when was that historic event?
All these answers .. and a whole lot more … in the latest episode of C-SPAN’s podcast “The Weekly.”
