In my opinion, between election night and Jan 20th, the president's powers should be limited to legal challenges of the election itself and urgent national security matters. He shouldn't have been able to start firing people and making sweeping changes after the result started to become apparent.

It's one of the advantages of our system, the person that wins is in the next day. The concept of a peaceful transition only works if the incumbent is not a dick, and now it's happened once, the chances of it happening again are very high
