Surely the 'co-presidency' concept with Claire is not part of the plan. It's all him, all under Underwood forever -- one way or another. It's pretty much what a lot of people believe is now just about in place in real life. These people will never leave the seat of power legally or illegally, at least not without a military fight. Well I thought his train of thought was 8 years of his presidency (2 terms), 8 years of Claire following him (another 2 terms). I assumed he wasn't going full dictatorship because that doesn't really fit with the show at all, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's doing his best to corrupt all the systems that would keep him to the amendment of a two-term limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I think this past election --and current administration-- makes any political fiction plausible....lol.... which is not a statement pro or con... just a recognition that we're in uncharted political water.... so nothing Frank Underwood does is going to make me roll my eyes...

dooog Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 It's not all that implausible. It literally just happened a couple of weeks ago in Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a reference to the Democrat party who after 8 years of presidency are now refusing to leave their seat of power and simply proclaim the newly elected President unlawful?
