Dangers of excessive conformity among employees?
Excessive conformity stifles innovation. It also leads to uproductive behaviour. As a former public servant, I witnessed ridiculously unproductive activities because the behavioural norm was to avoid risk at all cost and punish those who seemed 'risky'. Was gobsmacked at the extent to which 'unusual' behaviour was frowned upon at the same time as pathetic paper-shuffling to avoid risk was rewarded.

Why swear in the vice president first?
The simple explanation: The US Constitution does not permit that the nation be without a chief executive. Therefore it is a practical matter, considering that the Vice president can act as the chief executive when the President is incapasitated. For the few moments that the former President is stepping down, and the new President is being sworn in, there would actually be no President, so to avoid the problem, the Vice President is traditionally sworn in first.
If the President wants to avoid media attention for signing a veto of a law drafted by Congress and the Congressional session ends the day after the bill is delivered to him what is used?
You're talking about a 'pocket veto'. To clarify: when a president vetos a bill, he refuses to sign it. He doesn't 'sign' a veto. He sends the unsigned bill back to congress with recommendations.
