Knowing how big of an Aaron Sorkin fan you are, I’m shocked you didn’t figure out a way to include the West Wing episodes where Zoe Bartlett was kidnapped and President Bartlett - realizing he was acting as a father and not a President - invoked the 25th amendment himself. This happened after the VP had resigned, but before Bartlett had nominated a replacement. As a result, Speaker Walken - a Republican - steps into the presidency, setting up a few cliffhanger endings that kept us all coming back for the next episodes.
I remember Zoe being kidnapped. I think they filmed a few of those episodes of that storyline while I was working at the Kennedy Center. The show invited us to be extras, but that would mean being at work from like 7 until midnight, and I was too busy not reading books at that time.
I have watched the Succession series exactly once and Air Force One more than once. Neither are to be commended for their realism, but we’re quite entertaining!

Oh. I didn't realize that happened.
