The 2016 election is upon us and regardless of which party wins, there will be a peaceful transition of power in the United States.

Bush was defeated after running for re-election as an incumbent against Clinton in 1992. As a result, Democrats had full control of the White House, the House and the Senate.
It’s a good reminder that though America may be strongly divided by party lines, there is still respect for the democratic process that the country’s founding fathers set up hundreds of years ago.
