What are presidential transitions?

A presidential transition is when a new president gets ready to take over from the old one, like changing the leader of a big game.

Imagine you're playing a long game with your friends. You've been the captain for a while, but now it's time for someone else to be captain. Before that happens, the new captain needs to learn the rules, meet the team, and get all set up so the game can keep going smoothly.

That’s like what happens when a new president takes over. The old president has been running things, but the new one needs time to learn about everything, like how government works, who is on their team (like Cabinet members), and what problems need solving.

Sometimes, this change happens quickly, like when a game switches captains right in the middle of play. Other times, it takes longer, like when you have time to plan before switching teams. Either way, presidential transitions help make sure things keep going well, just like how your game keeps being fun no matter who is captain!
