See, I never understood those movies. Like, I thought the entire point of the US president was so you had an elected person–a regular American who is replaceable (and for whom you even have a spare)–instead of a monarch with a divine right to rule. So seriously:
“Sir, they have the president.“
“Can we get them back without killing 400 military personnel?“
“Nope.“
“Bummer. Well, that’s what the back-up is for. Call the VP, initiate the plans for the state funeral and then phone those fuckers back and tell them we don’t negotiate with terrorists.“
Right?
“How much of the Cabinet do we have?”
“Everyone but the Secretary of Education and Secretary of Veteran’s Affairs. And EPA, because it was her retirement party.”
“Had she resigned?”
“Yeah, it was effective immediately on letter day.”
“Okay, so we have…. 12 out of 15.”
“13 out of 16, If you count the VP.”
“Cool, that’s quorum. Set up a GoToMeeting, we’re invoking the 25th amendment.”
“But ma’am, what about the President?”
“SecVet was a SEAL, and EPAdmin was a pardoned eco-extremist. They’ll get the lawyer out.”
"And SecEd?”
"That lady ran middle schools for a living.”
“You’re right. Those poor fuckers. They’re so screwed.”
Typically, you’d at least want to save the US president because he had access to very high level intelligence and it would be in everyone’s best interest if what he knew didn’t get in the hands of anyone dangerous who could use it.
But Trump doesn’t read anything and has never paid attention to any security briefing, so yeah, this post still stands.
