im pretty sure they showed the president getting dragged out of the oval office, lol. but that particular administration might not be the core of the entire conflict, true.
but i basically can’t conceptualize this sort of story except through the prism of kaiserreich and personal enmity against texas so Cali-Texas axis feels wrong, even if a fairly plausible fiction can be written
The US has this whole continuity of government thing, where even if the president is incapacitated they can keep going down the line of responsibility for a long, long time to have a president. Folks get promoted as the person higher up the list dies or is incapacitated. So the president being captured or killed doesn’t necessarily mean the end of American government. I think this was all put in place during the cold war in case the US got nuked and they needed someone to be in charge of the executive branch who would have clearly laid out authority. Like if Kamala chokes to death on a donut and Biden bluescreens I think the Speaker of the House would become president or something.
i think it’s fairly normal procedure to have a list of heads to organize the next election in case of death/expulsion–ending out terms in a mega-powerful office like the presidency is probably an exceptional(ly stupid) american example, but it doesn’t mean everyone in that line of succession would pick up the proverbial sword as their predecessors are captured or killed in a losing war. i feel like losing your head of state is a pretty dire indictment of your military situation in a modern country where civil leaders, even upper military command, are generally nowhere near the battlefront, yknow?
