The newly elected president was sworn into office. As with all presidents he went through the usual early term education. He set about the task of appointing his Cabinet and having them confirmed. The man he appointed as Secretary of Homeland Security seemed like an unlikely candidate. However, he was confirmed faster than most.

Jonathan Miller confirmed as Secretary of Homeland Security by the Senate. As it would so happen he was an engineer and very high security clearances. The one thing he was not, was a politician. When asked if he was a Republican or Democrat he simply answered, “No.”
May 13, 2025
A bomb is detonated in the US Capitol Building killing the President and most of the line of succession. The Secretary of Homeland Security is 18th in line. Jonathan Miller has had just over a month on the job, a month in politics. But he is now the President of the USA.

RP Start
The RP will be a two fold venture that follows similar issues to those seen in the TV series. President Miller will be viewed by the public with great skepticism. He wasn’t elected, but appointed. He is extremely new on the job. He knows little about politics. Basically he is just a good, decent man who is probably too honest for the job.
Part of the RP will focus in on the Press. The Press will soon attack his credentials and begin digging up every piece of dirt they can on him, the First Lady … and finally their adopted son. For the past two administrations the First Family has been degraded as an institution. Once upon a time the people of the USA looked to the First Family as a shining example of what it meant to be a family. Not so for the past 8 years. Now the world looks once more to see what sort of mess this First Family will be.
Part of the RP will focus on the intrigue. Who bombed the White House? How will the US respond? Is America safe? Will there be more attacks?
Your Character(s) Your role can be many fold.
You can develop a few Press personnel with different agendas. They should be a little better than cardboard cutout characters. They should have a name, some network or publication they represent, and a backstory. The President’s son has been in the news more than his father.
You can develop some Secret Service agents, especially any assigned to Duncan. If Duncan elects to move (such as back to Albuquerque), you will have to do the same.
You might want to develop a romance interest. (His mom wants grandchildren!) He has some pretty high standards though. Beauty is nice, but having a head on your shoulders is critical or he’ll find you boring.
If you look at the map link for the White House, anything remotely worth visiting like a museum is at least a mile away. At a mile and a half is the Smithsonian. At 2 miles, is the Library of Congress. An utterly bored Duncan might head there. But you can probably forget shady dance clubs. He COULD move right back to Albuquerque. Regardless, he will be assigned Secret Service. He no longer has a truly private life.
Note: If Duncan remains in Washington, it would be possible for the same reporter to try to question the whole family. And it would be more feasible for a romance interest to meet his family.
If you want intrigue, then the TV series Designated Survivor investigative route would be worthwhile. Duncan may take an interest in this that could put him in some very dangerous waters. He doesn’t understand the meaning of out of his league.
