Summary
"Examines the crucial work performed by presidential transition teams and proposes a solution to the current, ad hoc system. Liddell argues that transition teams should begin their work in "Year Zero," a year before inauguration, and he lays out concrete steps, highlighting how these reforms would fundamentally improve the functioning of the executive branch, and in so doing pay dividends for our democracy"-- Provided by publisher.
