What is the legal foundation for the transition process?
A. The Presidential Transition Acts of 1963 and 2000 [http://www.gpoaccess.gov/serialset/ cdocuments/sd106-30/pdf/pl106-293.pdf] provide the legal framework giving the General Services Administration (GSA) a prominent role in this process. They authorize the administrator of GSA to provide the president-elect and the vice-president-elect the services and facilities needed to assume their official duties.
