War in the South China Sea ... The President faces assassination A clash between US and Chinese destroyers near the Spratly Islands prompts President Samuel Walters to launch an attack against Fiery Cross Reef, occupied by China as part of its nine-dash line claim over the South China Sea. China launches a counterstrike, which threatens to escalate into an all-out confrontation. To curb influence of Big Money and Super PACs in the national political process, the President urges the Supreme Court to reverse its 2010 decision on the 'Citizens United v FEC' case. He also wants the Justice Department to rigidly enforce the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act to stop American corporations accepting bribes and kickbacks to secure overseas contracts. He then introduces the 28th Constitutional Amendment to align House and Senate elections with the presidential four-year cycle, and sets Congressional term limits. These measures seriously threatens aerospace corporate influence over Congress, and the secretive Omicron Group orders the President assassinated. The attempt fails and an FBI investigation is launched to find the would-be assassin and anyone else who might be behind the plot. An explosive political drama that might be happening right now.
