What is the time period called between November and January when the president is elected?
presidential votes happen on national election day, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That date changes each year. the President takes office at noon on January the 20th of the next year (about 2 months after "winning") that gives the new President time to organize herself (or himself, but I suppose I am being hopeful there) before taking over. It also gives the sitting President time to call the movers.

What is a sitting president?
Sitting means "current" or "active" president. According to the smarties on StackExchange politics, it is acceptable, to call ex-presidents "Mister [lastname]", or "Former President", or even "Mister President" - even though they no longer have that role. Famously, Marilyn Monroe addressed a sitting member of the executive staff (President Kennedy) as "Mister President" in a happy birthday song, and most guys who listened to that.. well, their members were standing rather than sitting afterwards. ;)
