Abstract
With his second-term electoral victory in November, 2004, President George W. Bush was afforded an opportunity to reorganize his entire advisory structure. While presidents may tinker with changes in their cabinets throughout the first term, most presidential cabinets remain stable during the term. The major change in personnel is not likely to occur until a president is reelected.
