Great story. Who knew you were a fiction writer? Good on you!

I have a friend that is convinced that the president won't leave office if he is beaten in this election or in 4 more years. Interesting concept.

I'd wonder if the military would support such a thing? Each and every member took an oath to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of these United States against all enemies foreign and domestic'. For some of us, at least, a solemn oath is a big deal and not to be given up on.
