Title: Reelected prez resigns
Post by: Sir Mohamed on March 12, 2019, 10:27:57 AM
If a reelected prez resigns from office for some reason after the official certifaction of the electoral votes, does he have to resign again on January 20? Because the time between the election and inauguration is technically the old term.

Yes, he'd have to resign again or be otherwise removed.
