The concept of divided government in the United States means that one political party can control the executive branch while another controls the legislative branch. This poses problems for the President in making appointments to federal offices. (a) Describe two problems that divided government poses for the President in making federal appointments (b) Identify and explain two ways Presidents try to overcome the problems described in (a)

 Often times members of the opposite party are left in office after the previous President has left, i.e. court justices.  Publicity surrounding those who the President elects, and decisions they make can often effect the President reputation

 In the past when people with political views opposite that of the President were left in office, the President either devised a system to rotate them to other areas (Andrew Jackson’s spoils system) or added in extra members to diminish the individual power (adding supreme court justices in the past)  In the past Presidents have done the obvious thing and separated themselves when an elected official they brought in messes up, and sticks by them when they are good. Also political party PR play an enormous role in who does and does not get elected nowadays.
