The presidential transition of George W. Bush took place following the 2000 United States presidential election. It started after he was declared the victor of the election on December 12, 2000, when the Bush v. Gore decision by the Supreme Court halted the election recount in Florida, making Bush the victor in that state. The decision delivered him the state's 25 electoral votes, thus giving him a total of 271 electoral votes. This was one more vote than the 270 needed to win the presidency outright, making him president-elect. The transition was chaired by vice president-elect Dick Cheney.
