NSC Transitions: Risky Times for New Administrations
Some thoughts on streamlining the transition process for future NSC staff.
Presidential
transitions are almost always messy, frequently contentious, and
possibly risky for the nation at large. While this problem applies to
some degree in all cabinet-level departments and agencies, the problem
is particularly acute within the White House, especially in the area of
national security. The National Security Council (NSC) staff serves at
the pleasure of the President, and there is usually a complete turnover
in personnel between Democratic and Republican Administrations and (vice
versa). “Hostile takeovers” often occur, too, when the incoming
President is of the same party as the outgoing one. http://www.the-american-interest.com/2016/12/13/nsc-transitions-risky-times-for-new-administrations/
