As Garrett's condition was considered top secret, they hadn't revealed it to the public.

Even so, word about it had spread around the White House like wildfire.

Kidney cancer was no mild illness, and Garrett would have to go through a long recovery period if his treatment were to be successful. It would leave him so lethargic that he wouldn't be able to focus on his work at all.

Although there were quite a handful of people who wanted to become the next president, two in particular were the most popular choices among the others.

The first candidate was Zion, the cabinet secretary.
