Every four to eight years, the power of the presidency is transferred from one citizen to another. It seems routine, but the peaceful transfer of power is one of America's greatest political traditions -- and it doesn't just happen on its own. It requires a lot of hard work and innovative thinking by many unsung public servants. In this episode, Peter Feaver, professor of political science at Duke University and former member of the National Security Council, discusses his new book, Handoff, and reveals what a presidential transition is really like.
