Does that mean that Arnold is the governor the moment that the vote is certified?

What I hear is that he cannot assume the office until the vote is certified. That could take several weeks. See http://www.ss.ca.gov/elections/2003_cert_timeline.htm.

Just a technical question that has only a tangential connection to constitutional law. Now that Arnold is governor-elect of California, when does Davis actually hand over power? Is it immediate, or is there a cooling off/transition period?
