Sommario/riassunto

The Country has experienced bizarre political events. First, a contingent election in the House of Representatives after no candidate for president garnered 270 electoral votes. Then, the victorious president resigned suddenly on Inauguration Day. Is President Granger guilty of concealing a secret about resigned President Atkinsen in order to succeed him? Speaker of the House Allcott despises Granger who "stole the presidency from me." Granger foresees a disastrous economic decline. He signs Executive Order 14914 to ward off a depression. Allcott condemns the EO and influences the House to Impeach Granger. The Senate decides Granger's fate. Is Allcott guilty of conspiracies? What is the fallout from the Executive Order? Unexpectedly, Granger takes a leave of absence. Who becomes acting president? BELTWAY UPHEAL is a fictional story of presidential actions and conflicts. Can real transformation happen?
