Hillary Clinton in 2016

The planned presidential transition of Hillary Clinton was the contingently planned presidential transition from President Barack Obama to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party's nominee for president in the 2016 United States presidential election to occur in the event Clinton was elected president.

The transition was in accordance with the Pre-Election Presidential Transition Act of 2010 and the Presidential Transitions Improvements Act of 2015. It would have been a "friendly takeover", in which the outgoing president and the incoming president are of the same political party. Since Clinton lost the 2016 election to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, this transition never went into effect.
