The story opens with the democrat president listening to “God Bless America” sung by French school children. The president sits with a huge grin on his face not realizing that the words actually translate to; “God Damn America, the land I loathe.” Network reporters report this fact adding a comment from the president's aide, “We respect all cultures.”

While on the way back to the US, the president suffers a stroke and is incapacitated. He calls McKenzie Allen to his bedside, where he says to her: “You're great furniture, but you have the political skill of a drug dealer. I am going to appoint the Speaker of the House. I want you to resign.” Allen agrees to resign.

But in a scene at the vice president's house, her aides are all in tears about the coming appointment of the Speaker.

“He hates women,” cries aide Fred Burg, wiping his tears. “He'll bring religion into the classroom.”

Dave says, “ There there. If I have anything to do with it, I'm going to stop those bastards from bringing religion back into the classroom.” The remark lifts all spirits, then one aide, pipes in, “ What about Muslims?”

“That's not a religion., “ says Allen. “ It's an ideology, so it's okay, if children pray five times a day.” The aide is subsequently fired for even suggesting Islam is a religion.

In her address to congress after taking the president's post, someone switches off the teleprompter, so Allen saves the day by talking anyway and getting a standing ovation several times.

One day an aide rushes into her office and says: “A Nigerian woman human rights activist is being held by the Nigerians who say they are going to kill her.”

Allen responds: “They will kill her over the dead bodies of whomever we send to rescue her.”

A National Security Council meeting is held and plans are set in motion for a rescue. As it happens a multi billion dollar aircraft carrier battle group just happens to be standing by off the coast of Nigeria..

But we see in a scene that cutbacks in intelligence and military readiness , and legal rules reimplemented by the Department of Justice have already affected the mission.

The SEALS return to ship with a black woman and an after action report. The Nigerians kill the woman human rights activist anyway, when the SEALS realize they were given the wrong address. The woman they rescued was someone held on suspicion of starting an Avon business.

The networks rush camera to the site of the battle reporting that more than 50 Muslims were killed in the raid. In a press conference, Allen vows to cut the budget of the agencies who screwed up this mission
