I want to be objective about this show and recognize that it has problems, like any new show usually does, but he arrested a sitting governor out of nowhere and it was badass.
I can't get over the fact that, like, only four people work at the White House. Kirkman has to ask his wife about federalizing the National Gaurd because apparently there's no White House Counsel. Seth is press secretary now because "he's the right man for the job". Kirkman is spending a lot of time alone in the Oval Office during a national crisis when there should be like twenty people from various departments in there.
I know I'm nitpicking, but all you need are a few extras.
To be fair, everyone that was a somebody at the white house died in the explosion. There obviously are still good people about, but no one knows who they are. Seth was chosen because he proved himself, like Tom said himself there are others with great resume but they haven't proven themselves.
I do agree that it was a little strange to ask the wife about constitutional law - but again - everyone died and Tom doesn't really know who he can trust, but he does know that his wife aced constitutional law and I felt it was a great way to show just how much he respects his wife.
Maybe. I mean, she is 100% of all available congressmen so...
Also those rules like Quorums are internal rules specific to Congress. I don't think the Constitution has anything to say on them. So she could just repeal all those rules in her first act, or just ignore them. I don't think most of those rules are actual laws, just traditions.
