National Campaign Start Day will be January 1. Any campaigning for president before that date will be a federal offense. The punishment will be loss of the right to run for any political office.
National Primary Week (your state’s choice, primary or caucus) will be the first Saturday of April to the Friday after that. All 50 states will choose the candidates for president at that time.
National Election Week will be July 5 through 11. There will be elections for federal office every four years, so the House terms will be 4 years and Senate terms will be 8. This way, the president will have the same Congress to deal with his or her full term. Presidents can still serve two terms, and Congress can still serve as long as it likes.
Safe Harbor Day will be August 1. On that date, all ballots will be shipped to the National Archives.

During the period between Labor Day and New Government Day, Congress will set up its field office leases and the new Cabinet will be chosen.
New Government Day will be January 1. The Congress will be sworn in at 9 am. The President and VP will be sworn in at noon. Football games will start at 1 pm.
