>> you are exactly right. when the president spoke today he said he was heartened by donald trump's victory speech in which donald trump suggested the kind of bipartisanship that we associate with parties coming together. but the minute donald trump becomes president, there is two chances for immediate partisan conflict. the first is he will name a supreme court nominee. that for democrats is a partisan rallying point. because the supreme court nominee will determine the ideological course for the, for the court. a four-four split at the moment. next one is a fordable care act. paul ryan said he has a piece of legislation he just wants donald trump to sign. that would undo barack obama's signature domestic legislation. >> maxim of politics that revolution is easy, but governing is hard. what do we know about his management style? >> from the campaign we know it has its chaos moments. he had three campaign managers. now he finally, stuck with one at the end. but then he also did something that was extraordinary.

3:28 am
divide. do these word sum up for you the faults in these campaigns? passion that partisanship. absurd judgment. ambitious self-serving behavior. well if so kid those are the word that john adams used in 1776 to advocate for a constitution with three branches of government. separate, equal, and hopelessly encumbered by hobbles known as checks and balances. james madison called the separation of powers, the essential precaution in favor of liberty. the american government is inefficient, these days we call it gridlock. but that is what the founders were striving for. a system that would slow down even stop when politics became too partisan, absurd, and self-serving. the constitution is a circuit breaker that prevents real damage. if you are among those who believe this was the election no one saw coming, you are
3:29 am
mistaken. the founders could not have imagined the horizons of our modern world, but the range of human nature is ever the same. from the second floor windows of a building in philadelphia, they could see a distance of 229 years. are you going to get what you want from the next government? no telling. are we going to be okay? no question. that's the "overnight news" for this thursday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back with us just a little bit later for "the morning news." be sure not to miss "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm scott pelley.

3:37 am
and we have to remember that the only time that we have invoked article 5, our collective defense clause, is after an attack on the united states. after 9/11. >> reporter: as for russian citizens, at watch parties that went on all night around moscow, they cheered when trump won the white house. >> we are the champions of the world. >> this is the victory that american people brought the whole world. >> reporter: in the rest of the world there was less delight and more worry. french foreign minister, jean marc ayrault spoke for many foreign officials when he said trump's personality raised questions. as did some of his campaign promises. of particular cons tick concern international agreements that donald trump doesn't like. first and foremost iranian nuclear dealing, and also the recent agreement on climate

president obama will host president-elect donald trump at the white house today. in his post-election address in the rose garden, mr. obama promised a smooth transition. >> good afternoon, everybody. yesterday, before votes were tallied, i shot a video that some of you may have seen in which i said to the american people, regardless of which side you were on in the election, regardless of whether your candidate won or lost, the sun would come in the morning. and, that is one bit of prognosticating that actually came true. the sun is up. i know everybody had a long night. i did as well.
3:41 am
i had a chance to talk to president-elect trump last night. about 3:30 in the morning i think it was to congratulate him on winning the election. and i had a chance to invite him to come to the white house tomorrow, to talk about making sure that there is a successful transition between our presidencies. now, it is no secret that the president-elect and i have had some pretty significant differences. but remember, eight years ago, president bush and i had some pretty significant differences. but president bush's team could not have been more professional or more gracious in making sure we had a smooth transition so that we could hit the ground running. one thing you realize quickly in this job is that the presidency and the vice presidency is bigger than any of us. so i have instructed my team to follow the example that president bush's team set eight years ago and work as hard as we
3:42 am
can to make sure this is a successful transition for the president elect. because the, we are now all rooting for his success. and uniting and leading the country. the peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy. over the next few months we are going to show that to the world. i also had a chance last night to speak with secretary clinton and i just had a chance to hear her remarks. i could not be prouder of her. she has lived an extraordinary life of public service. she was a great first lady. she was an outstanding senator for the state of new york. and she could not have been a better secretary of state. i am proud of her. a lot of americans look up to her. her candidacy and nomination was historic and send a message to our daughters all across the country that they can achieve at
3:43 am
the highest levels of politics. and i am absolutely confident that she and president clinton will continue to do great work for people here in the united states and all around the world. now, everybody is sad when their side loses an election. but the day after -- we have to remember that we are actually all on one team. this is an intermural scrimmage. we're not democrats first. we are not republicans first. we are americans first. we're patriots first. we all want, want what's best for this country. that's what i heard in mr. trump's remarks last night. that's what i heard when i spoke to him. directly. and i was heartened by that. that's what -- what the country needs. a sense of unity.
3:44 am
a sense of inclusion. a respect for our institutions. our way of life. rule of law. and a respect for each other. i hope that he maintains that spirit throughout this transition. and i -- i certainly hope that is how his presidency has a chance to begin. so this was a long and hard-fought campaign. a lot of our fellow americans are exalted today. a lot of americans are less so. but that's the nature of campaigns. that's the nature of democracy. it is hard. and sometimes contentious. and noisy. and it is not always inspiring. and then people vote. and then if we lose, we learn from our mistakes, we do some
3:45 am
reflection, we lick our wounds. we brush ourselves back off and we get back in the arena. we go ate. we try even harder the next time. the point though is that we all go forward. with the presumption of good faith in our fellow citizens. because that presumption of good faith is essential to a vibrant and functioning democracy. that's how this country has moved forward for 240 years. that's how we have pushed boundaries and promoted freedom around the world. that's how we have expanded the rights of our founding to reach all of our citizens. it's how we have come this far. and that's why i am confident that this incredible journey that we are on, as americans, will go on. and i am looking forward to doing everything that i can to make sure that the next president is successful in that. i said before -- i think of this
