  • Washington, D.C. Update – September 2016
    GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND PUBLIC POLICY September 2016 This is an advertisement. Washington, D.C. Update Clinton and Trump: A Policy Comparison This month, we have a special edition of the Baker Donelson Washington Update focusing on what to expect from the 45th President of the United States. Of course we are all waiting on the November election to find out whether that will be Secretary Hillary Clinton or Mr. Donald Trump; in the meantime, we will examine a number of the candidates’ statements, proposals and announced transition teams to get a sense of what we can expect when a new president is sworn into office on January 20, 2017. Here is what is included in this month’s Washington Update: • Taxes – Clinton and Trump Propose Diametrically Opposed Tax Plans • Trade and Investment – A Rare Area of Agreement on TPP • The Economy – Two Differing Ways to Grow the Economy and Create Shared Prosperity • Energy and Environment – Opposites on Oil, Gas and Coal; Potential Overlap in Nuclear Power • Health Care – The Fight Over the ACA Continues • Presidential Transition Teams Regarding the potential for a long-term budget and appropriations deal or the future of defense spending, other than a commitment by Secretary Clinton to provide “budgetary certainty to facilitate reforms and enable long-term planning,” these issues have not been meaningfully addressed by either campaign. For additional information regarding the current budget decisions, please see the Washington, D.C. Fall Preview in which we examined the FY17 appropriations process and discussed the future of defense policy with former Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force retired General Carrol “Howie” Chandler.

RUNNING HEAD: The Trump Transition Wellman 1 The Trump Transition Erica Wellman December 2017 Honors Thesis Project The University of Akron The Trump Transition Wellman 2 Abstract When studying presidencies and the success or failure of a presidential administration in the United States, it is essential to study the presidential transition. By studying this process, a better understanding of why certain events occurred or how exactly different accomplishments were achieved can be explained.
