Chapter 646 New President
Looking at the ex-president's energetic head, he didn't look like he was going to Arkham for treatment as advertised by the media.
The eldest lady exchanged a few words of embarrassment with this "old acquaintance", and the other party let her go and stood side by side with Moira.
"Ms. Moira Quinn, are you willing to take up the post of President of the United States?" When everything was arranged, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court asked loudly.
Moira put her hand on the Bible in front of her and was strengthened twice by her daughter. Her voice was very loud, not at all like a middle-aged woman, "I solemnly swear that I will faithfully perform the duties of the President of the United States, do my best, and abide by the maintenance and defend the Constitution of the United States."
After the routine procedure, there was warm applause at the scene, and Thea also took two claps happily.
After that, the ex-president was sent off, and the new president started his first policy speech, which was actually a routine, a cliché. Some time before the election, Moira had repeated the words of the car hundreds of times, but Still have to go through the process.
He also talked about eliminating 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 all of them pretended to be very moved, and returned warm applause.
The vice president has been sworn in before the president. He is also an old acquaintance of Thea's. The former Minister of Defense, General Swanwick, the black general has now officially retired from politics and served as Moira's deputy.
After several games among them, the Secretary of Defense handed it over to General Ryan, the father-in-law of Clark's classmate, and only waited for Moira to go through the nomination process after taking office.
Analysts agree that the combination of a president with a background of a giant consortium and a vice president with the status of a military boss will be more executive and inclusive than the previous government.
After the policy speech, the inaugural luncheon began. Many guests stood under the sun for a long time. Some of them were tired and paralyzed. They just took the opportunity to take a break, eat something, and greet each other more. After all, the men are fine, but many female guests wear so tight that they can't even sit down, you let her eat? Just kidding.
It doesn't matter to the eldest lady, if she eats it all by herself now, there will be no abnormality in her stomach, but she can't give up on her manners, and it's not okay to gnaw on a chicken leg. She also has to pretend to be very ladylike and stand aside with Oliver waiting.
The banquet was going on very quickly, and formalism couldn't escape there, and the same is true here.
The luncheon was almost over, and a group of people walked out in an orderly manner. According to the procedure, it was the presidential inauguration parade. Parade troop composed of floats.
Noisy, noisy, and finally an inaugural ball, this event can be regarded as the end.
"Oh! I'm so exhausted!" The eldest lady felt that this day was more tiring than fighting with the eldest son, so she threw herself on the big bed in the White House exhausted. For the next eight years, there will be a bedroom for her here without any accidents. It was the only gain she got from months of tossing.
She was tired like this, and Oliver and Moira were not much better than her, and the family went to rest early.
Early the next morning, Thea was woken up by a loud noise. Just as she was about to use a chain lightning to kill the flies, she finally realized that she was in the White House, so she put away her magic and looked outside Someone came out, changed into casual clothes and walked out leisurely.
The breakfast in the White House was very simple. The service staff brought her a small plate, a few slices of bread, scattered pieces of bacon, a pancake the size of a palm, and a glass of milk.
This is the breakfast of the day. Thea doesn't care if she eats it or not. She just thinks it's funny. Those guys who protest against the extravagant life in the White House every day should really come and see. This kind of breakfast costs ten dollars. According to this standard, you can eat it for eight years How much money can you eat?
After eating quickly, on the first day of the new president's inauguration, a routine press conference has to be held,
Thea prepared herself as quickly as possible, stood in front of the White House lawn, and listened to the reporters asking all kinds of strange questions from the Arabian Nights.
At first, she thought that this matter had nothing to do with her, and she was thinking about the dead king. Suddenly, a reporter mentioned her name, and hurriedly brought her attention back to reality.
"Dr. Quinn, is the White House comfortable to live in?" Well, those with the title of doctor must call it doctor in public. The eldest lady has always praised her persistence back then, otherwise Miss Quinn would sound very low.
There are eight generations of the Quinn family, and she is the only one who has received a Ph.D.
Of course, the eldest lady would not say that this is the smallest place she has ever lived in. 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 to be so-so. I praised it again, expressing my yearning and excitement for the White House.
"Will you build a swimming pool in the White House?"
Thea glanced at the other party gently, crazy! I wondered for a while whether I should let Poison Ivy take this guy away and use it as fertilizer!
"Won't......"
"May I ask if superheroes should disclose their identities and register with the government?"
Um? Thea couldn't help but look sideways, did you come from Marvel next door? Superhero Registration Act? This is to make trouble.
She couldn't handle the errand with that problem.
"I can tell you clearly, no!"
"Why? The public has the right to know?" the other party asked aggressively.
Thea glanced across 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 mix with the reporter group, Martian Manhunter stood obliquely as a security guard. rear.
The eldest lady frowned slightly, and sorted out the language "absurd! Superheroes didn't take a penny from the government and risked their own lives to help others. What if their identities were made public and the bad guys retaliated? Their families Whose responsibility is it if you die as a result?"
"The people's right to know? Since when did the people have the right to control the life and death of others? Is it endowed by the constitution or by God?" The eldest lady asked three consecutive questions, her voice flat but her tone intense.
The other party was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Thea's words to be extremely sharp, but he came prepared and directly changed the angle, "The people may not have rights, but the government should have them."
Thea's smile was fake, and of course her words were even more fake, "Government officials are also made up of people. The high-level government officials are actually ordinary people. They are just a group of people who serve the country and society. Eight years later, they will return Among ordinary people, your premise is incorrect."
