re: #280 lawhawk
The Japanese were in the book Debt of Honor, where they were in cahoots with the Indian government - and a rogue Japanese civilian pilot decided to crash into the Capitol building during the SOTU leaving Ryan president. Executive Orders then had now President Ryan dealing with the Iranians taking over Iraq and then going to war against Kuwait and Sauidi Arabia. Oh, and an ebola terrorist attack.
It wasn’t the SOTU, it was a joint session of Congress that confirmed him as the replacement Vice Preisdent after Ted Kennedy Ed Kealty was forced out after a sex scandal.
