In this Jan. 7, 2013, file photo, President Barack Obama and his choice for Defense Secretary, former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel, left, laugh as current Defense Secretary Leon Panetta speaks in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Monday, Jan. 7, 2013, where the president announced his nomination of Hagel. In 1989, former President Richard Nixon said unless a nominee is clearly unqualified, the Senate should respect the right of a president to fill his Cabinet. Nixon's words came during the bitter fight over President George H.W. Bush's choice of John Tower for the Pentagon post. The Democratic-led Senate rejected him. Now, Obama's choice of Hagel to be defense secretary will be a test for Senate Republicans, including those who fought strenuously for Tower. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, file)

Obama's political organization is forming an outside, nonprofit group to support the president's legislative agenda. The unprecedented move gives Obama a way to promote his agenda outside the confines of the White House and seeks to harness the energy from his re-election campaign into support for legislation.
