註釋

Each new president faces the challenge of organizing the White House and structuring its relations with the rest of the executive branch. Enduring institutional tensions carry forward in the presidency, regardless of partisan control or the changing personnel in appointed positions. This paper will consider how President Obama's administration illustrates the enduring tensions between centralized control and the necessary delegation of policy implementation to departments and agencies. After examining White House domination of policy making in the Obama presidency, the chapter will analyze the friction with the cabinet and Congress caused by Obama's appointment of many White House "czars." The lynch pin of Obama's first two years in the White House was chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, and his abrasive but effective actions on the part of the president will then be examined.
