Presidential transitions were not always a thing

Given the current obsession with the transition from Donald Trump Too, before 1933, presidential inaugurals occurred on March 4, rather than late January. That gave incoming administrations four months to prepare for a measured and nondescript slide into the White House. It was a combination of the bombing of Hiroshima and the 20th Amendment that propelled into existence the concept of the “presidential transition.” However, 1960 proved to be the watershed year for establishing the transition as a point of enduring concern in American politics.
