If I understand correctly, Bill could end up with @FLOTUS?
Bill would be styled "First Gentleman", so FGOTUS?

If they do that, then the new POTUS account will start at 0 followers (unless they have a special agreement with Twitter).
> If they do that, then the new POTUS account will start at 0 followers (unless they have a special agreement with Twitter). They must have made some sort of arrangement. The article states: The account will retain its more than 11 million followers, but start with no tweets on the timeline.
Everyone here is talking about what is going to happen if Hillary is elected. Is @realDonaldTrump really going to give up tweeting from his account if elected? I'd be surprised.

I worry about polarization to such an extent that administration N might spend millions of dollars to develop tools useful for the running of the nation and, upon transition, these tools are negated to administration M almost purely on an ideological bases. In other words, we are not supposed to be developing software and tools at the White House, or anywhere else, to support a particular political party but rather i…
Do you have any evidence to support your worry? It seems to me that it's mostly unfounded. Nothing like what you describe has ever happened in the past.
However, I don't think it is unfounded. For some years we've had a congress set on refusing things Obama is for - even if they are wanted by the people. They are presently intent on appealing so-called 'Obamacare' instead of sitting down and working on it to make it better. They seem to have lost the ability to, you know, make compromises. They seem bent on un-doing anything that the other party has done.
These are the same folks that will legislate things so that they look good, but then fail to fund it - basically rendering it useless. And i'm pretty sure things like this happen at city and state levels as well. It certainly appears so at times, anyway.

Someone would have to start tracking this stuff to have proper evidence: I'm not sure the studies have been done. However, I don't think it is unfounded.

1. It's interesting that you chose to use Obamacare as something that is "wanted by the people" when a majority of Americans disapprove of the law. http://www.people-press.org/2016/04/27/more-americans-disapp...
I used to work at the White House in the Presidential Personnel Office where I worked on an internal staffing tool to help fill political appointed positions across government. As we poured hours and contracting dollars into, we wondered aloud many times whether our work would go on into the next administration. The tool and the workflow behind it is pretty standard so there shouldn't be any reason why not. The gener…

wait a minute... the President is communicating on a private server account ? not via a "secure" government server? someone tell Comey quick so he can write another letter to Congress revealing this madness. We still have a week left. I wonder if any other government employees are too. I wonder if any are passing classified info thru them, especially in DM's.
Last I checked Obama never sent and received classified information through his Twitter account, nor deleted anything from his Twitter account after learning it would likely be investigated.
Her lawyers were given specific instructions and they followed them.
