Presidential Power - John Ford Clayton - Bog

Presidential Power...One man has it, another is scheming to get it, a third is doing all he can to avoid it. Democrat Mitch McCoy was elected President of the United States in a bizarre 2016 election. When no candidate garnered the requisite 270 electoral votes, the decision was left to the House of Representatives who saw McCoy as the best of three options. In over his head, McCoy is now struggling to find his bearings in the Oval Office. Most realize he doesn't have what it takes. Meanwhile, in a jail cell in rural Wyoming, Victor Youngblood, head of the world's most dangerous criminal enterprise and former Republican Vice-Presidential candidate, is concocting a plan, not only to garner his freedom but also to ascend to the most powerful office in the world, an office he has been plotting for over 40 years to attain. In the jungles of Brazil, Elijah Mustang is seeking peace. As an independent wild-card candidate in the 2016 election, Mustang outgained both Democrat and Republican candidates; but in the end, he secured only 268 electoral votes, two shy of being elected president. With the election taking its toll on Mustang, he wants to avoid the spotlight and live a quiet life of service. However, the same country that called him to run still yearns for his leadership in the highest office in the land. Can he avoid it? Presidential power is beckoning all three. Who will end up on top?
