For this discussion board, I want us to focus in on the expected things presidents do when they first take office. One of those things is establishing a press corps. Another Is making appointments to oversee the country's largest agencies and departments as well as for positions such as press secretary and Supreme Court Justice. These are some of the functional activities people do to continue the institution of the presidency and keep the protocols of the office stable. See functionalism?
Look at this first article, not so much for the focus on a specific person as for its description of what a press corps is and does.
