With the President and all other legal successors dead, the Presidency falls on a man who doesnt want itSecretary of Education, Ben Silver, a man in love who cant wait to get out of government. Compelled, Silver takes the job, but is immediately accused of involvement in the assassination conspiracy. Accusations fester, fueled by the political aspirations of Senator Jeb Davies.
