[ Man ] Previously on 24.

Jim, we both know that you've been one
of the most outspoken opponents...

to my decision to call off
this attack.

If you have something to say, I would
expect you to bring it to me first.

Does the president have
any idea what's going on?

I don't think so.
Let's keep it that way.

Thank you for assembling
at such short notice.

I'm sure you're all wondering
why I've invited you here.

It is my sincere belief, based on
his response to today's events,

David Palmer is unfit to continue
as president of the United States.

Looks like you've
had quite a day.

I didn't kill anyone. [
Policeman ] I know you didn't.

We know Gary Matheson killed his wife.
We're looking for him now.

So you're off the hook for everything
that happened this morning.

I thought I made myself clear, Tony.
We're past Bauer.

No, sir. You are. I'm not.

If you're not comfortable with
me making my own decisions here,

I suggest you relieve me
of my duties right now.

That won't be necessary.
Thank you, sir.

Don't thank me. I just don't have
anyone to take your place right now.

No! Give me that!

Kate, are you all right? Yeah.
They've got the chip.

All I want is the chip!

You come in here, I'm gonna smash this
thing. I'll put it right under my foot.

[ Man ] The following takes place
between 4:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.

At least let me know who I'm speaking to.
Doesn't matter who we are.

Only thing that matters
is we got something you want.

Something your girlfriend was about
to pay us a lot of money for.

Listen to me, both of you. About five
hours ago, a nuclear bomb went off.

I'm sure you know about that.

The chip you have has information
about who's responsible.

It's vital to our investigation.

The man you assaulted was
a foreign intelligence agent.

He was bringing
the chip to my office.

I'm gonna give you
one chance to get out of this.

Give me the chip back, and I'll
let you walk, no questions.

Think we don't know you're setting us up?
Kate, get back.

What are you doing? They killed Yusuf.
They were about to kill me.

We're about to go to war against three
countries who are not responsible for today.

The only way I can stop it is by getting
the president that chip, so right now,

I'm going to do everything
I can to get it back.

Please, Kate, I need your help.
Get in touch with C.T.U., please.

I'm gonna give you 30 seconds to
open that door. Give it to him.

Are you crazy? This is
the only thing keeping him...

from killing us like he killed Rouse.
You got 20 seconds.

We're supposed to trust you? Right
now, you don't have another choice.

Give it to him. No way!

He's serious. So am I!

He's gonna kill us if you don't open
the door. He'll kill us if I do!

Against the wall! Now!
Where's the chip?

I-I dropped it.

Don't move.

Kate! Kate! Get me some wire,
so I can tie these guys up.

What about the chip? I got it.

I got this Pentagon briefing
stating that our bombers...

aren't going back
to their bases.

Do you know anything about this?

I understand they're in a holding
pattern awaiting refueling.

I ordered them
back to their bases.

Yes, sir, I know.
That's why I'm here.

Could I ask you to
come with me for a minute?

Come with you where? Just down the
hall to the main conference room.

What's going on, Mike?

Please, Mr. President,
come with me.

You're ordering me to the
conference room? No, sir.

Of course not. I'm sorry.
I'm... asking.

It's very important, sir.

Mike, I'm the President
of the United States.

I'm not going anywhere until you
tell me what this is about.

Mr. President,

it seems there are a number
of people, cabinet members,

who question whether you're fit to continue
as chief executive of this country.

And these people are
in my conference room?

In a manner of speaking,
sir, they are.

Well, then, let's go see them.

Mr. President.

So now I see why I had such a hard
time reaching you today, Jim.

You were busy.

I apologize if this comes
as a surprise, Mr. President.

This is a unique situation
in the history of our country,

calling for unique measures.

Let's skip the sound bites
and cut to the chase.

What's going on here?

Mr. President, we are invoking
the 25th Amendment.

Who's "we"?

I think there's
a general feeling that...

some of the decisions
that have been made today...

Hold on a minute,
Mr. Vice President.

With all due respect, sir,
most of us here...

are scrambling just to
understand today's events.

I think it's way, way
too early to be referring...

to a "general feeling" about anything.
Fair enough.

For the record, let me review the
relevant portions of the 25th Amendment.

Section Four states that
"whenever the vice president...

"and majority of the cabinet
determine the president...

"is unable to discharge the
powers and duties of his office,

the vice president shall immediately
take office as acting president."

Is everyone clear on that? The 25th
Amendment was designed for situations...

where the president
is ill or incapacitated.

The language speaks for
itself, Mr. President.

"Unable to discharge the powers
and duties of his office."

The reason for the disability isn't
limited to any particular cause.

The attorney general agrees
with this interpretation.

And just what exactly is
my supposed disability?

It seems clear to me,
Mr. President,

that the stress of today's
events has overwhelmed you.

An atomic device has been
detonated on American soil today.

We have clear evidence which
countries are responsible,

along with details of the
terrorist group they sponsor.

The evidence implicating these
countries is not clear, Mr. Prescott.

Far from it.
The Cyprus audio has been...

independently verified by every
intelligence group we have.

I have reason to believe that
those agencies are mistaken.

Because of this
lone C.T.U. agent, Jack Bauer?

Yes. Mr. Bauer believes that
the Cyprus audio is a forgery.

He also believes that he
will soon have proof.

He's been telling
you that for hours,

Mr. President. You still
don't have the proof.

If military strikes
do not occur imminently,

casualties to American soldiers will
increase by tens of thousands of lives.

That analysis is undisputed.

The risk of attacking innocent
countries is unacceptable.

We have to be sure. - Everybody
is sure, Mr. President.

Everybody but you. Well, as it
happens, I'm the only one who counts.

This meeting is over.

Mr. President, one way or
another, there will be a vote.

I think that you should be heard
before that vote is taken.

You don't like one
of my policy decisions.

The 25th Amendment does not give you
the right to reverse that policy...

under the pretense of
saying I have a disability.

Mr. President, I agree.

What I intend to show
is a pattern of erratic...

and irrational behavior on your part
since the start of this crisis.

Seen in that light, your refusal
to authorize military action...

is simply another symptom
of your disability.

Listen to me. All of you.

I know you're not in
the same room with me...

but you can see and
hear me plainly enough.

Take a good look.

Do I seem scared?

Am I breaking into
a nervous sweat?

Am I babbling?
At a loss for words?

Is my voice shaking?

Can any one of you look me in the
eye and tell me I'm disabled?

Mr. President,
the issue is not...

your demeanor over
the past few minutes,

but your actions over
the past 20 hours.

Mr. President,

the vice president has raised serious
questions, and in my opinion,

it would be a mistake
to ignore them.

For my own part, I'm confident
that if you explain yourself...

with your usual candor
and clarity,

all questions will be resolved to
the satisfaction of everyone here.

Mr. Prescott, there seems to
be a collective feeling...

that a discussion is called for.

In the interest of
putting this behind us,

I'll agree... on one condition.

When it's over,
if I'm supported,

you tender your resignation as the
vice president of this country.

Very well, Mr. President.
I agree.

I, uh, suggest we all take a few
minutes to compose ourselves,

and, uh, then get on
with the... proceeding.

Let's not mince
words, Mr. Secretary.

You mean the trial
of David Palmer.

[ Beeping ]

The problem here is that they
don't correspond. I need them to.

Ryan, can I have a word
with you, please?

Give me a minute.

I got a message the president called off
the military offensive over an hour ago.

Who told you this?
Someone at D.O.J.

Someone I trust.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Is it true? Yes.

And you knew about it? I did.

And you didn't tell me?

Why are you so determined to keep
my people processing intel...

on an operation
that's been scrapped?

Because there's a strong possibility the
White House will reinstate the attack order.

Doesn't make sense.

Why would the president
reverse his orders twice?

Just keep your people
on a war footing.

Tony, phones are up. I've
got Jack Bauer on line two.

Where is he? He's at
Kate Warner's house.

What's he doing there? I don't
know, but he has the chip.

Conference the call into my office.
Okay.

Jack, it's Tony. What are you
doing at Kate Warner's house?

You were supposed to bring
that chip here over an hour ago.

We ran into some interference.
Yusuf Auda is dead.

What happened? I don't
have time to explain,

but he's the only reason why
we've still got this chip.

I'm trying to read it now. I've
put it in a flash-card adapter,

but something's not working. Jack, this
is Michelle. Just give me a minute.

You may be able to override the reader
function manually. I'll talk you through it.

Good. Tony, while she's getting set up, I
need you to do a couple of things for me.

I want you to run a background check
on the name, "Peter Kingsley."

It's probably an alias,
but we might get lucky.

I want you to cross-reference it with
every major player in the oil industry.

Peter Kingsley? Why? I'll
explain it to you later.

I need you to get in touch
with the president.

Tell him we've got the
evidence he needs.

I told him, and I just found out that
he's called off the military strikes.

Good, then we've got some time.
Not necessarily, Jack.

Chappelle just told me that he expects
the order to be reversed. Why?

He didn't get specific, but
something's going on in Washington.

Something we're not
supposed to know about.

Michelle, are you ready for me?
Yeah.

I've asked someone to join us.

[ Prescott ]
Most of you know Ron Wetland.

Ron is one of the most respected national
affairs correspondents in the country.

He had a very interesting
experience earlier today. Ron.

I was sent to cover President
Palmer's environmental speech,

when I began to sense
a bigger story.

There were rumors of a terrorist
attack on the West Coast,

possibly involving
a nuclear device.

Naturally, I kept
asking questions.

Next thing I know, I was called
in to talk to the president.

He asked me to keep the story under
wraps until later in the day,

and then he would
give me an exclusive.

And what did you say? I
told him I'd think it over.

But as I was leaving,
I was grabbed by a

Secret Service agent and
hustled into a room.

I was kept there under guard
for several hours.

Did you feel this was a violation
of your First Amendment rights...

as a journalist as well as
an American citizen?

Of course.

Ron, were you harmed
in any way or threatened?

No, sir. - Did you understand the
reason for your being detained?

I assume it was fear if word got out of
a nuclear threat, panic would strike.

People might get hurt.

Do you think the lives
of thousands of citizens...

is less important than a couple of
hours of your First Amendment rights?

No, I don't.

But under the Bill of Rights, that decision
was mine, not yours, Mr. President.

Did you get the feeling that things
were a little out of control...

in the Palmer administration?
You're putting words in his mouth.

I did have the sense that President
Palmer was not in control.

I was trying to balance the need for public
safety against Ron Wetland's rights.

I offered Ron a deal,
and he turned me down.

Nothing was "out of control."

I might add, I had legal
precedent for my action.

Thank you, Mr. Wetland.

I'd like to call
someone else to testify.

He should be ready
in just a few moments.

[ Michelle ] Control C.X.
dash five, then hit enter.

Done. Anything?

I think it's reading it.

No. All I'm getting are
numbers and symbols.

Jack, take out the chip,
make sure the leads are exposed.

Damn it! What is it?

The chip is damaged. How badly?

I'm not sure. Part of
the microprocessor is

gone and the leads that
were connected to it.

Whatever data you have,
send it to my screen.

I'll run it through the
retrieval program.

Will you be able to access
a complete audio file?

If it's on there, I'll find it.

[ Woman ] I.T., this is Berman.
This is Almeida.

Listen, send two of your guys
up here right away, would you?

They're all doing M.I. for Chappelle.
I don't care what they're doing.

I need two I.T. people up here right away.
Chappelle specifically...

Just do it. I gotta go,
all right? Almeida.

Tony, hi, it's Kim. Look, I haven't
been able to reach my dad.

Is he available?
[ Exhales Loudly ]

Kim, we're in the middle of something
really important right now.

Can I have him get back to you? Tony,
please, it'll just take a minute.

Okay. Okay, just hold on.

[ Computer Beeps ]
Are you getting it?

Yeah, I got it, Jack, but you were
right, the data's pretty scrambled.

Hey, Jack. I just assigned two I.T.
people to help Michelle with this.

We should be able to get through
in about 15, 20 minutes, tops.

Okay, good. - Also, I got
Kim on the line for you.

Thank you, Tony.

[ Tony ] Kim, I got your
dad on the line. Go ahead.

- Dad?
- Sweetheart.

Tony told me you were alive.
I've been trying to reach you.

Are you still at the sheriff's station?
They're taking me to...

the Mathesons' house,
to pack up my things.

I'm glad you're okay.
[ Chuckles ] Me, too.

When I thought you
were gone, I, um...

I just miss you, Dad.
I miss you so much.

I've missed you too, honey.

I just wanna come home.

You'll be home soon enough.
I promise, okay?

Okay. Hey, Dad?

Yeah? I love you.

I love you too, baby.

I'll see you soon, okay?

Bye.

You knew about this, didn't you, Mike?
How long have you known?

That doesn't matter, Mr. President.
It matters to me.

How long? A couple of hours.

You were part of it,
weren't you?

When all is said and done...
you're on Prescott's side.

No, sir.

I'm on your side
and always will be.

This could be a good thing, a chance to
correct a mistake of historic proportions.

David, I'm begging you,

reconsider your
position on this.

I'm the president, Mike.

You don't call me
by my first name.

Yes, sir.

[ Beeping ]

[ Jack ]
Okay, it's transmitting.

Gentlemen, I'm sorry
for the delay.

The man you're about to see
is not entirely well.

In fact, it's taken a great deal of
courage for him to join us at all.

Roger Stanton, head of the
National Security Agency.

Roger, thank you
for speaking with us.

Yes, of course. I'm sorry
if I seem a bit tired.

You see, I was tortured for several
hours at the Operations Complex...

by order of the president
of the United States.

And why were you
tortured, Roger?

Because you thought I
knew more than I was

saying about the location
of the nuclear bomb.

As if the head of N.S.A. would withhold
information from the president.

You're lying, Roger.
This may work for a while,

but eventually,
the truth will come out.

I have nothing to fear
from the truth, Mr. President.

As briefly as possible, Mr. Stanton,
tell us what happened to you today.

I arrived at the O.C.
around noon...

to find that my Assistant
Director, Eric Rayburn,

had been dismissed
by the president.

What was the reason given
for Mr. Rayburn's firing?

Eric wanted to bring the military
into the equation right away.

The president was-was reluctant
to even contemplate...

the use of military action.
That's not true.

For the next few hours, I worked
with the president as best I could.

He was indecisive, erratic and,

as I said,

terrified to even think
of military engagement.

Then, a little after 6:00 this evening,
I was arrested on a charge of treason.

I was taken to a small,
windowless room.

The president entered,
and accused me of knowing...

more about the bomb than I was telling him.
Is that true?

Of course not, but,

in fairness to the president, I think
he genuinely believed it to be true.

But why would he
hold such a belief?

David Palmer is a decent man.

Maybe he's too decent
for the times we live in.

He wanted to avoid war
at any cost.

If he could prove to
himself that Americans...

were behind the bomb,
then he'd have a good reason...

not to use military force
against any foreign country.

I just heard you ordered two I.T.s
onto some kind of retrieval project.

They were working military intel.
Jack Bauer has a chip.

It contains an audio file
that we expect will prove...

that the Cyprus audio
was indeed forged.

Where is this chip?

It's been damaged. Damaged?

Jack sent us the data,
but it's pretty messed up.

The audio file needs to be reconstituted,
which is gonna take a little time.

How long? However long it takes.

It should take
about 15 minutes, sir.

[ Woman ] Division.
Mr. Chappelle's office.

I need to get a message to the
vice president. Right away, sir.

[ Whirring, Beeping ]

[ Stanton Groaning ]

[ Whirring, Beeping ]

[ Stanton Groaning ]

[ Palmer's Voice On Tape ] Ready to
tell me everything I need to know?

Continue.

We knew about the bomb
weeks ago.

Enough!

This should end
this discussion here and now.

Yes. I had
Roger Stanton tortured.

It was a horrible thing to do,
and God knows I hated doing it,

but just as I suspected,
he knew about the bomb.

You've just seen it for yourselves.
I was strapped to a chair,

and thousands of volts
of electric current...

passed through my body
every few seconds.

I'm not proud of it, but I daresay I
did what most of you would've done.

I cracked. Told the president
what he wanted to hear,

that I knew about the bomb. You
told me more than that, Roger.

You told me about
the Coral Snake team.

You told me that the bomb
was at Norton Air Field...

information that we
corroborated very quickly.

I don't know what you're
talking about, Mr. President.

Mr. Prescott,
play the rest of the tape.

- There is no rest of the tape.
- What?

That's all I have.
Well, that can't be.

I was in that room
for another 10 minutes.

Well, this is all that was transmitted
by the O.C., Mr. President.

We did ask for everything.

There must be some kind of
mistake, or deliberate sabotage.

Mr. Stanton had a whole lot more to say
than what you've just seen on that tape.

Mr. President, couldn't Agent Simmons
verify what you've been telling us?

No. I sent him out of the room,

but the fact remains that Roger Stanton
told me about the Coral Snake team.

He told me about
the location of the bomb.

Where else could that
information have come from?

We have many intelligence
agencies, Mr. President,

thousands of agents
combing the planet.

Could've come from anywhere. I
just know it didn't come from me.

That's a lie and you know it.
Tell them, Mike.

I only know what
the president told me.

I wasn't in the room.

Mr. Stanton, thank you again.
Legally, you'll remain in custody...

as President Palmer has ordered,
until this matter is resolved.

I understand.

Mr. President,

if you have any evidence you'd
like to present, please do so now.

The testimony that's been presented here
so far is inaccurate and incomplete.

Roger Stanton is directly responsible for
placing a nuclear weapon on U.S. soil.

I have evidence that proves it,
but you've given me no time.

While my behavior
may have been extreme,

I was just responding to the
extremity of today's events.

Make no mistake.

If we unleash our military power on
nations that later prove innocent,

it will rank as one of the most
despicable sneak attacks in history.

Any chance for peace in the
Middle East will vanish forever.

Even if it costs American lives
in the future,

we must delay the attack until
we are certain of our ground.

Excuse me, Mr. President. I just
received an urgent message...

from C.T.U. Division Chief
Ryan Chappelle.

Apparently, Jack Bauer
has evidence...

he claims will prove
the Cyprus audio was forged.

Please, please, everyone, just...
shh-shh... please, settle down.

The evidence is being reviewed
at C.T.U. right now.

Mr. Chappelle says that the analysis should
be complete within the next few minutes.

Considering the potential impact
that this, uh,

this evidence will have
on these proceedings,

I think it's incumbent
upon us to wait.

Well, yeah, I'm looking at it
right now.

[ Man ] We can't configure it either.
[ Sighs ]

Okay, did you try running it
through the default mode?

Yes. The audio files are gone. There are
just some markers that repeat, that's all.

All right. Thanks, Jason.
All right.

He didn't find anything either?

Well, what have you got?

The chip was more compromised than we
thought. Do you have the audio file?

Michelle was able to recover some
information worth following up on.

Repeating code fragments. It may tell
us who programmed the information.

Did you find the audio file or not?
That's all I need to know.

No, we didn't.

So, Bauer wasted our time.

[ Beeping ]

[ Man ] Come on. [
Police Radio Chatter ]

- Kate?
- [ Sniffles ]

Kate, are you all right?

Everything... [ Sniffles ]
that's happened today...

every-everything
that's still happening,

I keep thinking
it's all my fault.

Come here.

We would never have found the bomb
in time if it wasn't for you.

But my sister was the one behind the bomb.
She helped those fanatics.

Yes, but you're not your sister.

I should've seen something was
wrong before it got this bad.

Because of what she did,
it could start a war.

I could've stopped it.
I could've stopped it.

No, Kate, you couldn't have.

There are things in this world
that are just out of our control.

Sometimes, we like
to blame ourselves for them...

so that we can try
and make sense out of it.

Come here.

There was nothing you could've done.
[ Sighs ]

[ Cell Phone Ringing ] Sorry.

Yeah? - Jack, it's
Tony and Michelle.

Excuse me.

- You got the audio file?
- No.

What do you mean, "No"?

Are you telling me that there's
no audio file on that chip?

If there were, they were destroyed
when the chip was damaged.

Look, Jack, uh, Chappelle's phoning the
president. He wants you on the call.

Yeah, I bet he does. Also, uh,
some of the information...

Michelle was able to recover may be worth
looking into. - What kind of information?

Identical code fragments at the
tail end of several data streams.

What are you talking about? What kind of
fragments? What are the fragments for?

Nothing. That's the point.
It's junk code.

Programmers and hackers sometimes
embed it into their programs...

as a... marker, a signature.

Michelle was able to trace the sequence
back to a hacker named Alex Hewitt.

He's got a file with the F.B.I.
Are you telling me you think...

this is the technician that created
the Cyprus audio file? Yes.

Chappelle's not gonna let us
follow up any more leads.

You're gonna have to talk to this guy on
your own. - What's his last known address?

210 Laurel Canyon Boulevard
in North Hollywood.

Okay, I got it.
I'll get back to you.

All right.

I'm sorry, I've got to go.
Where?

We got something off the chip... not what
we were looking for, but it's a lead.

I'm going to have
to follow it up.

As soon as you're ready to leave, one of the
officers will take you back to C.T.U...

so you can be with your father.
Thanks.

Okay.

Jack? Yeah?

Be careful. Thanks.

I will be.

The airborne squadrons have
been in a holding pattern...

ever since President Palmer
called off the attack.

They've just refueled.

If we want to resume the operation,
we need to come to a conclusion now.

A few more minutes. This is the difference
between peace and war, Mr. Prescott.

It's also a pattern that's been
recurring over the last few hours...

Everything will change once Mr. Bauer calls.
It just never quite happens.

[ Knocking ]

Yes, what is it? C.T.U.

[ Novick ] Jack Bauer and Ryan
Chappelle are on the line.

This is President Palmer.
Mr. President, this is Ryan Chappelle.

Hello, Ryan. I have Jack
Bauer on the line as well.

He'll give you an update.

Mr. President, I found the chip, but
unfortunately, it's been very badly damaged.

Is it in good enough shape to prove
that the Cyprus recording was forged?

Sir, in its present condition, I'm afraid
it doesn't prove much of anything.

Can it be repaired?
No, sir, I'm sorry.

But we have been following
other leads.

About an hour ago, I was captured and
tortured by men who wanted the chip.

They work for a man
named Peter Kingsley.

I believe he's part of the group
that was behind the bomb.

I think they've been manipulating
today's events to start this war. Why?

To improve the value of their oil
contracts in the Caspian Sea...

and to control the oil
coming out of the Middle East.

But I need something concrete.
I need evidence.

Mr. President, I understand. Right now I'm
checking up on an address of a man...

who we believe engineered the
Cyprus recording for Kingsley.

I'm sorry, sir,
but it's the best we've got.

Everything you've seen...
are you absolutely

convinced that the Cyprus
recording was forged?

Yes, sir, absolutely.

All right, Jack. Thank you.

The evidence I was hoping for
is not yet available,

but I believe it will be in the near future.
When, Mr. President?

- I don't know.
- Meanwhile, the window...

for a surprise attack
is rapidly closing.

It's time to vote.

Mr. Vice President, if you could
indulge me for one minute.

Mr. President...

this Bauer thing
is an illusion... a mirage.

Every time you get near it,
it moves further away.

For your sake, for the
country's, authorize the attack.

All this will just go away.

And a lot of people... Americans and
non-Americans... will die for no reason.

We don't know that,
Mr. President.

Let's get on with the vote.

Members of the cabinet, you've
been presented with the evidence.

You know what's at stake.

Those of you who believe the president
is able to continue in office, vote yes.

Those of you who believe
he isn't, vote no.

Mr. Novick will conduct
a voice poll.

The accumulated numbers will be
reflected up on the screen.

Mr. Novick?

Ms. Secretary of Transportation,
how do you vote? Yes.

Mr. Secretary of the Treasury?
No.

[ Beeping ]

Yes. [ Phone Tones]

[ Ringing ]

Almeida. Tony, it's Jack.

I'm about half a block
from Hewitt's loft.

Has the F.B.I. sent over his file yet?
Yeah, we just got it.

What do I need to know? The State Department
recruited him right out of Cal Tech.

He revamped their entire
technical surveillance program.

Then he got caught
manipulating intel on some

files that he didn't
have clearance for.

He tried to kill himself
in custody.

Spent a year in psychiatric
prison in Augusta

before being released
last September.

[ Jack ] No connection to Kingsley?
No, not that we can find.

Okay, as soon as I get Hewitt,
I'll get back to you.

Oh, and Tony, any word on what's
happening with the president?

No, not yet. Okay, thanks.

[ Cocks Gun ]

[ Novick ] Mr. Secretary of
Defense, how do you vote?

Yes, I believe the president
should stay in office.

Mr. Secretary of Agriculture?

No.

Mr. Secretary of the Interior?

No.

Mr. Secretary of State, the vote
is seven for and seven against.

- Yours is the deciding vote.
- I'm aware of that.

I've never met a man that
I respected more than you,

Mr. President, never.

But we are talking about tens
of thousands of American lives.

I'm compelled to vote no.

[ Prescott ] Mr. President,
you see the results?

You'll have an opportunity
to appeal this...

in four days
in front of Congress.

In the meantime, I must ask
you to remove yourself...

from the
decision-making process.

Please take the president
to a holding room.

Will you please come
with us, Mr. President?

Mr. President, I'm not a lawyer,
sir, but as far as I can tell...

the Constitution's
been followed.

I've got no choice but to
ask you to come with us.

I'm sorry, sir.

[ Prescott ]
I do solemnly swear...

that I will faithfully execute the office
of the President of the United States...

and will,
to the best of my ability,

preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States.

So help me God.
