This is off topic, but when the next president takes office, all of current whitehouse.gov content will be gone and replaced, no?

I'm guessing they will do something similar to when Obama took office: http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/

Very clever. So I'm assuming they just don't write any links that involve using the full domain. (i.e. /somepage instead of http://www.whitehouse.gov/somepage)

Link rewriting is a standard feature of wget.

I am not sure what will happen to https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/ -- can you imagine that just wiped off?
