<br/><br/> "Little has been done to streamline a presidential appointment process almost universally regarded as broken. Vice President Richard Cheney, who spearheaded George W. Bush's transition effort, stated that the greatest obstacle that post-electoral events in Florida posed to a smooth and orderly transfer of power were delays in obtaining the necessary 'clearances.' Most observers of recent transitions heartily agree." (BROOKINGS REVIEW) This article examines the time-consuming appointment process of members of the executive branch, all of whom must undergo an array of background checks and various approvals.
