TRANSITIONS
2. White House Counsel Bauer to Step Down

There will soon be a fresh face in the White House counsel's office. Bob
Bauer, an adviser to President Obama and counsel since November 2009,
will return to private practice-including personal representation of the
president-and also join Obama's re-election campaign as general counsel.
His top deputy, Kathy Ruemmler, will become the third person to hold the
job since Obama took office. She is a former litigator, federal
prosecutor, and associate counsel in the Clinton administration. The
White House counsel serves as the president's chief legal adviser on
legal matters but is not the president's personal attorney.
