Obadiah also expressed strong agreement with David’s words.
…
The next morning, the public opinion pressure against Payden remained unabated.
But as the White House spokesperson came forward and announced that the President herself had a significant announcement to make, the world’s attention was instantly diverted.
“What major announcement does the President have to make? She’s not going to give some sly defense, is she?”
“It shouldn’t be… Could it be that the President is going to announce her resignation!”
“It’s actually quite possible, given the pressure she’s facing, comparable to the Watergate scandal; resignation might be the only way out!”
…
It must be said that there is no lack of intelligent netizens online.
Many had already speculated Payden’s intention.
At 9 a.m. sharp, in the White House hall, media reporters from various quarters took their places.
Through the corridor, Payden walked with heavy steps until she reached the stage.
“Good morning, everyone, I am your President Payden. In light of the criticism from the Washington Post, I am deeply sorry, apprehensive, and profoundly aware of my errors. Here, I apologize to the nation!”
After speaking, Payden stepped away from the microphone and bowed deeply to the camera.
Then, she returned to the microphone and said, “I am 80 years old this year, an age at which I should have long been enjoying family bliss at home, but this country needed me, so my duty was inescapable. But now, I deeply feel that my strength is insufficient, so today I must formally announce that I will resign!”
After her words.
The media reporters on site were obviously stunned by her speech and stood frozen in place.
Meanwhile, the internet exploded in an instant.
“Haha, I guessed it! The so-called big news from President Payden today is her announcement of resignation!”
“If President Pat resigns, according to the constitution, then Katherine Windsor, the Vice President, will take office. Are we about to have our first female President in America!”
“Witnessing history…”
At this moment, the majority of the public’s focus was not on Payden but on Katherine Windsor, the soon-to-be first female President.
The news of Payden’s resignation not only sent shockwaves through America but also resonated around the world.
After all, America is currently the world’s sole superpower.
What sort of policies and strategies the new President will adopt and the impact this will have on the global landscape are concerns for all nations.
But on return to the main narrative, after Payden announced her resignation, not only did it cause a sensation among nations worldwide, but stock prices also took a significant hit.
However, after analysis by many economic experts, a conclusion was quickly reached.
This was because Katherine as a supporter of the Internal Revenue Service,
And the Internal Revenue Service had previously introduced such an offshore tax avoidance act.
Therefore, once Katherine took office, she would inevitably assist the Internal Revenue Service in rolling out more legislation to shear the wool of local capitalists.
It had been said before that America, as the world’s only superpower, isn’t just about simple military might.
It is also a leading economic force.
And as America’s capitalists control the world’s economic pulse, their continued shearing will naturally affect the global economy.
That’s why after Payden’s resignation announcement, stock markets in all countries took a dive!
Returning to the matter at hand, after announcing her resignation, Payden seemed to have no further attachment to the White House and swiftly moved out.
At the same time.
Over at the Naval Observatory, a jubilant Windsor had personally called a press conference to announce that Vice President Katherine Windsor would hold the inauguration ceremony on the west side of Parliament House at 1 p.m.
Upon receiving the news, the citizens began to move quickly towards the west side of Congressional Hill, just to catch a glimpse of the new President’s inauguration.
As the clock neared one o’clock, Internal Revenue Service Headquarters.
“Let’s go, it’s time to head to Congressional Hill!”
With Obadiah’s call,
David and the rest of the IRS senior staff also got into their cars, heading towards Congressional Hill.
It was just about ten minutes before everyone arrived at their destination.
Since it was the inauguration ceremony of the new President,
not only had a large number of the public and citizens gathered today, but officials from all over Washington D.C. had almost all arrived at the scene.
As America’s primary law enforcement agency and a strong supporter of the new President, the Tax Bureau’s seats were arranged at the very front.
“Director Obadiah.”
“Consultant Welton Heng.”
“Hello, Chief Inspector David…”
“Hello, Chief Inspector David…”
As they passed, numerous officials spontaneously greeted them.
The IRS was already powerful, and not many in America dared to provoke it.
Furthermore, even President Pat had been forced to resign, which made these Washington officials even more alarmed.
Therefore, when they saw David and the others, they immediately wanted to show goodwill first.
After the Tax Bureau’s staff arrived at their seats, the time also reached one o’clock sharp.
At this moment, Katherine, surrounded by a throng of Secret Service agents, walked up to the podium beaming with pride.
The first thing she did when she reached the podium was to look toward the seats of the Internal Revenue Service and then give David a knowing glance.
Then she approached the microphone and said, “Hello to the media, the public, and the members of Congress present; I’m Katherine, the Vice President of America!”
“The unexpected resignation of President Biden has deeply pained me, after all, everyone has seen the achievements Mr. Payden has made during his presidency. His sudden departure is a significant loss for our country, America!”
“However, we must always look forward. As the Vice President of America, I am honored to be about to become the President…”
Following the procedure, Katherine first spoke at length for more than half an hour.
The content was nothing more than promises to bring better welfare to the people and provide more jobs.
But speaking of which, there had been so many Presidents in office in America.
People had heard these words too many times, so the focus was not on Katherine’s formalities.
Now, most people were focused on whether Katherine, once in office, would take a stance on recent events, such as the IRS’s recent purges in New York.
Finally, after nearly an hour’s speech,
Katherine finally got to the ‘main topic.’
“I know many have been paying attention to the series of actions the Internal Revenue Service has embarked on in New York recently. Now that the nation’s eyes are upon us, I want to make a statement here. The new White House Government supports this operation and, of course, will support the upcoming series of actions by the IRS!”
Below the stage, David and others, hearing this ‘declaration of support,’ were very pleased.
“The previous White House Administration under Payden had not made a clear stance on this matter, and there have even been rumors that Pat was opposed. And now President Katherine has expressed support, which is interesting.”
“Regardless, as long as the new White House Government supports the Tax Bureau’s actions, then I support the White House.”
“So do I…”
Seeing the continuous support from the audience at the scene, the father-daughter duo of Trump, who came to attend as observers, showed displeasure.
To be honest, they were actually not very keen to see Katherine’s sudden rise to power.
Although Katherine was filling in for Pat’s term and would have to run again in ’24, she was indeed one of David’s camp. Who could guarantee she wouldn’t use her current control of the White House advantage and the smooth talk to follow, to win over David’s strong support?
If Katherine received David’s support in ’24, then Trump’s dream of reclaiming the throne would be dashed.
