In the Tom Clancy novel, Executive Orders, there is a minor subplot. An ex vice president steals his resignation letter then claimed he never resigned, that after the president's death he was indeed the president.
A minor subplot. There were scenes scattered about the book where this guy was talking to reporters, opposing the hero's acts of governance, filing court cases, and otherwise being a tiny annoyance. The government pretty much ignored him. They had a surplus of real problems.

I suspect any Hillary inauguration parade won't be as grand or well attended as Obama's. The first female president doesn't seem as grand and glorious as the first minority president. It'll still be grand enough. For my own amusement, I'm imagining Trump organizing his own parade, and timing it to arrive at 1600 Pennsylvania just ahead of the Democratic parade. As the two presidential parties skirmish over possession of the reviewing stand, two marching bands coming from opposite directions clash into each other head on...
Did I mention I'm starting to have problems taking Trump seriously?
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
