President Obama approaches his second inauguration after an electoral victory broader and deeper than most had predicted, with a slightly increased majority in the U.S. Senate, but with Republicans still holding a distinct (yet smaller) majority in the House of Representatives. While deep partisan divides still remain in Washington, the president has the chance to use his second term to make his mark on public policy. The first 100 days of this second term and his relationship with a newly seated Congress provide an opportunity for policy changes that can find support across party lines. Brookings is committed to developing a set of high-impact policy recommendations to present to the Obama administration in January in order to reinvigorate the American economy, create jobs and strengthen competitiveness.
On January 15, the Brookings Institution brought together a distinguished group of private and public sector leaders for a day-long series of panels addressing fiscal challenges, U.S. manufacturing and government performance. Brookings experts have released several new papers on these topics with recommendations focused on the first 100 days.
