Wait, how are they planning on doing this? Will this copy retain the timestamps and other metadata of the original tweets? I don't understand how this will work.
Edit: The more I think about this the more confusing it sounds. Will the tweets be deleted? Will all the links break? This seems like a very messy way of handling the transition, unless I'm misunderstanding how it will work.

Will it go to a page that says deleted? Is that what "no tweets on the timeline" means? Will each tweet link redirect to the copy?
One thing not mentioned in the article - everything archived by NARA ends up going to Obama's official library. I'm curious if and how they're going to make that accessible to the public.
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 in support of our nation.
Not saying this is what you have done. I just have a sense that if Trump wins those not sympathetic with the right might cripple the infrastructure that was developed or let it rot and become useless. This isn't good for anyone.

So if Hillary Clinton wins, they're planning on scrubbing the FLOTUS handle's tweets and giving the account to Bill Clinton without a name change?
First Live-in-significant-other of the United States?
First Longtime-companion of the United States?
First Life-partner of the United States?
First Lover of the United States? :P
There's got to be a good gender neutral L word to insert here...

Is @realDonaldTrump really going to give up tweeting from his account if elected? I'd be surprised.

I wonder if any other government employees are too. I wonder if any are passing classified info thru them, especially in DM's.
Her lawyers were given specific instructions and they followed them.
Living the dream.
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.

I think the only important part of the URL is the ID number at the end. So, no matter what the username is changed to, as long as you have that unique numeric ID, it will go to the correct place. You can check this by changing the "POTUS" string to anything else you like, and sending your browser to that modified URL:
https://twitter.com/POTUS44/status/786254141182074880
Presently, the above URL redirects to the POTUS one you posted, but that just goes to show that the numeric ID is the important identifier.

Still goes to the same tweet.
@vallesmarineris is you right?
Most of the Parliament would like to move the seat to Brussels because most other European institutions (notably the Commission) are there, but France would not agree to give up the Strasbourg seat.

Every year, the European Parliament meets for 12 four-day part-sessions in Strasbourg and six additional two-day part-sessions in Brussels.
Roughly €114 million is spent every year to move the European Parliament between its Brussels and Strasbourg seats every month, according to a new assessment by the European Court of Auditors. EurActiv Germany reports.
:(
At any rate, it's completely unrelated to the topic at hand and not remotely an example of anything that was discussed.

Given the animosity of the Democrats towards Trump, if Trump wins, I would say there is a non-zero chance that some petty vandalism will also likely occur.
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.
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...
