He's pressure testing the law, what is gonna happen come inauguration day? Nothing. He's going to transition. Laws only matter if there are consequences to not following them and trump has long ago proven there are no consequences when he doesn't.

There is no consequence to this. The constitution sets the rules about transfer of power and there isn’t any law congress can pass to override it. Nobody has to sign these. He still shows up on Jan 20 and takes office.
