All Staff members serve at the leisure of the President. Key decision-making staffers are normally replaced. Those involved with the more day-to-day activities are retained. Each president assigns a Chief of Staff who winds up making the recommendation on who stays and who goes. A list of all the effected staff positions can be found in the link below (its from 2004, so the names may no longer be right but the positions are still there). Also, note that certain jobs in the White House are civil servants and are NOT subject to this rule and remain from President to President (secretaries, janitors, tour guides, cooks/chefs etc. etc.)

One other wrinkle not mentioned by others here. It is tradition, when a President wins a re-election, that all his staff submit their resignations. The President can then refuse the resignation of any staff he wants to keep, accept the resignation of any staff he wants to fire. That is how Colin Powell lost his job as Secretary of State, but it can still be defined as 'resigning.'

Practically all staff switched when a new Prez is elected,
I do believe there was one person from the Clinton administration carried over when George W Bush was elected in '00.

All the 'political' staff change. I believe the cleaners may remain. However, if you Father was President before you it might be an idea to bring in some of his mates to help you out...

well, obviously the president is different, but the president gets to choose his cabinet, so in theory, if the new president chooses the existing vice president to be thier vice president while running, it is possilbe for only the president's office be changed after an election and have all other exectuive officials remain in place, but this is highly unlikely, especially when the new president is from the opposite party of his predecessor.
