It'd probably make more sense for SCOTUS to certify the results rather than Congress, who may be losing power. Or for a new, independent governmental branch solely focused on elections.

They did that in 2000. Not a great precedent.

At the very least, why isn’t Inauguration Day on January 1st? Give each president the entirety of the 4 years of their term and get rid of the weird extra 3 weeks.

I understand shortening the time between the election and inauguration day, but it isn't an extra 3 weeks
