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 nobody had brought it up, everyone knew that someone had to take over his position as president.

Those that weren't qualified for the position, on the other hand, were busy choosing someone to support. For the latter, picking the presidential candidate to support was like an investment of some sort.

The first candidate was Zion, the cabinet secretary.
