Chapter 646: The New President
Looking at the former president's full spirit, it is not at all like the media advertised that he will go to Arkham for treatment.
The eldest lady was extremely embarrassed to say a few words to this "old acquaintance", and the other party let her go and stood side by side with Moira.
"Ms. Moira Quinn, would you like to assume the presidency of the United States?" asked the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court when all was set up.
Moira put her hand on the Bible in front of her, reinforced twice by her daughter, and her voice was so loud that it did not look like a middle-aged woman at all: "I solemnly swear that I will faithfully carry out my office as President of the United States, and do my utmost to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States." ”
After the routine, there was warm applause at the scene, and Thea happily followed suit.
After that, it is to send off the former president and the new president to start his first policy speech, which is actually a routine, a cliché, and some time before the election, Moira has said it over and over again, but it still has to go through the process.
He also talked about eradicating poverty, protecting the rights and interests of women and children, increasing employment, and vigorously developing the economy.
The elites from all walks of life in the audience had to pretend that it was the first time they heard it, and they all pretended to be very moved, and responded with warm applause.
The vice president has been sworn in before the president, and Thea's longtime acquaintance, former Defense Secretary Gen. Swanwick, the black general is now officially retired from politics to serve as Moira's deputy.
After several internal games, the secretary of defense handed over to General Lane, the father-in-law of Clark's classmate, to go through the nomination process after Moira took office.
Analysts agree that a president with a consortium background and a vice president with a military boss will be more executive and inclusive than the previous administration.
After the inaugural luncheon began after the policy speech, many guests stood in the sun for most of the day, a few older ones were tired and paralyzed, just took the opportunity to rest for a while, simply ate something, more in greeting each other, after all, the men are fine, many female guests wear a tight, can't even sit down, you let her eat?
The eldest lady doesn't care, if she is given a dragon to eat now, there will be no abnormality in her small belly, but her demeanor can't be given up, and it's not okay to take a chicken leg and gnaw wildly. She also had to pretend to be very ladylike and wait with Oliver.
The banquet went on very quickly, and formalism could not run away there, and the same was true here.
The luncheon was almost over, and a group of people walked out in an orderly manner, according to the procedure, the presidential inauguration parade, the motorcade circled along Pennsylvania Avenue, and finally the president went to the White House viewing platform to watch, a large parade composed of honor guards of the three services, civil society groups and various floats.
The noisy and commotion ended with an inaugural ball, and the event came to an end.
"Oops! I'm tired!" The eldest lady felt that this day was more tiring than fighting with her eldest son, and threw herself into the big bed in the White House exhausted, and for the next eight years, it would be no surprise that there would be a bedroom for her, and this was the only gain she had to toss for months.
She was tired of the ghost, Oliver and Moira were no better than her, and the family went to rest early.
Early the next morning, Thea was woken up by a loud voice, and just as she wanted to kill the flies with a lightning chain, she finally realized that she was in the White House, so she put away her magic, observed the people outside, and changed into casual clothes and walked out leisurely.
Breakfast at the White House was simple, the waiter brought her a small plate, a few slices of bread, a few pieces of bacon and a palm-sized pancake, and a glass of milk.
This is the breakfast of the day, Thea doesn't care if she eats it or not now, she just thinks it's funny, those guys who protest the extravagance of life in the White House every day, they really should come and see, this kind of breakfast lasts ten dollars, how many dollars can you eat in eight years according to this standard?
After eating quickly, on the first day of the new president's office, there was a regular press conference, Thea used her best speed to pamper herself, standing in front of the White House lawn, listening to reporters ask all kinds of strange questions with open eyes.
originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with her, and she was thinking about the Death King outside the world, when suddenly a reporter mentioned her name and hurriedly drew her attention back to reality.
"Dr. Quinn, is it comfortable to live in the White House?" Well, those with the title of doctor must be called doctors in public, and the eldest lady has always praised her persistence back then, otherwise Miss Quinn will sound very inferior.
The Quinn family counts up eight generations, and she is the only one who has learned a doctorate, and it is self-evident who the other party asks questions.
Of course, the eldest lady will not say that this is the smallest place she has ever lived, the White House is 73,000 square meters, which is not small, but compared to the real estate under her name, it can only be said that it is so-so, she is cheeky and praises the American cooking system, expressing her yearning and excitement for the White House.
"Will you build a swimming pool in the White House?"
Thea glanced at the other party gently, she was crazy!
"Won't ......"
"Should superheroes be identified and registered with the government?"
Hmmm? Thea couldn't help but look sideways, did you come from Marvel next door? Superhero Registration Act? This is going to make trouble.
She won't be able to cope with this problem.
"I can tell you unequivocally, no!"
"Why?
Thea's gaze swept over the scene, Oliver stood beside her, Diana and Bruce Wayne were also watching the scene today as celebrities, Superman used Clark Kent's vest to blend in with the reporters, and Martian Manhunter stood diagonally behind him as a security guard.
The eldest lady frowned slightly, and sorted out her language: "Ridiculous! Superheroes don't take a penny from the government and risk their lives to help others, what if their identities are made public and retaliated against by the bad guys? If their families lose their lives because of this, whose responsibility is it?"
"The people's right to know? When did the people have the right to control the life and death of others? Is it given by the Constitution or God?" The eldest lady asked three questions in a row, her voice was flat but her tone was calm.
The other party was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Thea's words to be extremely sharp, but he came prepared and directly changed his angle, "The people may not have rights, but the government should have." ”
Thea smiled very fakely, of course, the words were even more fake, "Government personnel are also composed of people, and all the high-level government officials are actually ordinary people, they are just a group of people who serve the country and society, and after eight years, they will return to ordinary people, your premise is not correct." ”
