President Bush was expected to announce the shake up during a meeting with reporters with reporters later Tuesday morning in the Oval Office of the White House.


ANDREW H. CARD JR.
Card, 59, served as secretary of transportation for President George H.W. Bush. He was previously a vice president at General Motors, and a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. Card is married with three children.

The move comes amid a sharp decline in Bush's approval ratings and calls from Republicans for the president to bring in new aides with fresh ideas and new energy.
