I'm still asking you to believe - not in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. I believe in change because I believe in you.

Some have wondered whether or not Obama gets to keep the @POTUS account out of office. Former presidents are still frequently referred to by their former title, after all.
But Obama put this question to rest back in 2015 after a question from President Bill Clinton.
So in addition to giving up his office, Obama will have to use a new Twitter account.
But reports suggest, at least for the time being, that Trump will continue to use his personal @realDonaldTrump account.
