Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The ideal answer should:
a. Discuss the importance of transition to the success of a president's policy agenda, noting that this was especially true in Clinton's case becausehe was elected with only 43 percent of the popular vote and faced low levels of support from his own party in Congress.
b.Assess how the low levels of work done during the pre-election transition period with respect to personnel decisions led to a poor vetting of key nominees, including Ze Baird and Kimba Wood, and how that stalled the confirmation process for other nominees.
c. Evaluate whether the difficulties were personal or institutional, drawing on Clinton's decisions to continually pull members of his transition team into his administration, to focus on policy over the transition, and to choose transition aides, such as childhood friend Mack McLarty, with little relevant experience.
