A Trump administration appointee is refusing to sign a letter allowing President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team to formally begin its work this week, in another sign the incumbent president has not acknowledged Biden’s victory and could disrupt the transfer of power.
The administrator of the General Services Administration, the low-profile agency in charge of federal buildings, has a little-known role when a new president is elected: to sign paperwork officially turning over millions of dollars, as well as giving access to government officials, office space and equipment authorized for the taxpayer-funded transition teams of the winner.
It amounts to a formal declaration by the federal government, outside of the media, of the winner of the presidential race.
But by Sunday evening, almost 36 hours after media outlets projected Biden as the winner, GSA Administrator Emily Murphy had written no such letter. And the Trump administration, in keeping with the president’s failure to concede the election, has no immediate plans to sign one. This could lead to the first transition delay in modern history, except in 2000, when the Supreme Court decided a recount dispute between Al Gore and George W. Bush in December.
“An ascertainment has not yet been made,” Pamela Pennington, a spokeswoman for GSA, said in an email, “and its Administrator will continue to abide by, and fulfill, all requirements under the law.”

With Nancy Pelosi RUNNING everything in the House, you KNOW how she will vote, should it come down to that! Wasn't there talk of Democrats with some cajones voting her OUT of the Speaker position? What ever happened to THAT?
that vote won't come until early January
January the 6th is the drop-dead date for certifying a winner of the November election... if no candidate has 270 certified electoral votes by January 6th the election of our next President will be determined by the House of Representatives, per the 12th and 20th Amendments to the US Constitution. Since the Democrats are likely to control the house this could mean Pelosi becomes President. There is also the possibility that the January 3rd swearing-in of the new Congress may find some seats in Congress still up for determination, due to all the election fraud... which could create a constitutional crisis o monumental proportions.
Guess who is heavily invested in the .Voter software fraud. Twitter has already banned it.

Good for her!
biden isn't President elect, and will NOT be until all state elections are certified.
The media has no right to call the Presidential election for their candidate!
A thought ... Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Mark Levin ... 2024.
Mark Levin, yes,! Haven't seen Marco Rubio doing much - would prefer Matt Gaetz if he's eligible, and Gov Ron DeSantid!
soon, when older Charlie Kirk, and Candace Owens!
I would love to see Ted Cruz on Supreme Court, if he's eligible!
Mitchel, Rubio and Cruz aren't eligible any more than obama or harris.
Huh ... why not? Pres. and VP.
Huh.. this is why our Constitution is shredded.... most individuals don't have a clue on what it says and more importantly WHY IT SAYS WHAT IT SAYS...Sen. Kamala Harris is not a Natural-Born Citizen PERIOD. She is therefore not qualified to be President and or Vice President.
Kamala Harris doesn't qualify as a Natural-Born Citizen... the child of TWO US CITIZENS born on soil under the jurisdiction of the USA. She MAY BE a native-born citizen and that is questionable... as she had certain duties to complete under the Immigration and Naturalization Act to choose her Citizenship. Our founding fathers did not want split loyalties nor did they want to invite the many legal problems that can arrive from claims of dual citizenship and the rights of other world sovereigns over such individuals.
The founders wanted the President to have no claims by other soverign powers to the President's loyalty and OBLIGATIONS. They saw this as being extremely important. Kamala Harris was born to two ALIENS... a Jamaican father and Indian mother... Jamaica and India may have valid claims on Sen. Harris's citizenship and duties owed from her. It is also unknown if Ms.Harris complied with the laws for naturalization in existence at the time of her birth... bringing into question her legal claim to be a US Citizen at all...
The US Constitution requires that the President be a Natural Born Citizen at least 35yrs of age and must have been a resident of the USA for 14yrs. See Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 and Amendment 12, last sentence) for the Constitutional Qualifications for President and Vice President. The Public is ignorant of the law and the Constitution... an ignorant society often abdicates its protection thru ignorance. It is time that our Public Schools teach civics that include a thorough education on US History, the Constitution, and the reasons it states what it does.
