:46:01
...have confirmed it was a massive edema.
:46:04
Unlike his previous stroke,
it has left the president incapacitated.
:46:08
The nation mourned
as President William Harrison Mitchell...
:46:11
...was laid to rest at
Arlington National Cemetery.
:46:15
After lingering in a coma
for almost five months...
:46:17
...the president succumbed Thursday,
at 4:20 p.m.
:46:20
In a bittersweet ceremony in the capital,
Vice-President Gary Nance...
:46:23
...was officially sworn in today
as the 45th president of the United States.
:46:28
Under the terms of the 25th Amendment,
Nance was acting with full authority...
:46:33
...since Bill Mitchell's incapacitation.
:46:38
I plan to continue
Bill Mitchell's call to arms.
:46:41
This isn't my presidency,
it's his presidency.
:46:45
And I can't think of a better way
to ensure his legacy...
:46:48
...than to continue
the principles he initiated.
:46:51
Bob Alexander and eight other members
of the Mitchell administration...
:46:55
...were indicted on 34 counts
of election law violations...
:46:58
...and obstruction of justice.
:46:59
Ironically, the indictments came
just 48 hours...
:47:02
...after passage of the Mitchell Jobs Bill for
a comprehensive employment program.

We have limited amounts of posters,
so no buttons in the envelopes.
:47:15
Dave Kobic. Time for a change.
:47:18
Kovic. Kovic.
:47:20
We have a limited amount of posters.
Put them in busy places.
:47:24
She's terrific. She'll do anything.
:47:27
Okay, but she's changed.
:47:30
It's the middle of winter.
They'll turn off her heat. She needs a job.
:47:45
Would you like to volunteer?
:47:48
You're a good man.
:47:49
Did you get the fund-raising thing
I sent you? City Council.
:47:52
We have flyers here.
:47:56
We're on a roll now. Karen, you got a job.
:47:59
It's Monday.
