Robert T. Endicott

Contract on the President Robert T. Endicott

In the nation's brief history, three presidents have faced impeachment. Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and William Jefferson Clinton. Now there is a fourth. President John Simeon Andrews. He is in deep trouble with a hostile Congress. He used his high office for personal gain, and there is no way out. The House is certain to impeach President Andrews and the Senate is just as certain to convict. He will be the first president kicked out of office. Plagued by deep-seated paranoia, Andrews steadily slips toward insanity. He refuses to resign. He blames reporter Sam Matthews for pushing him to the edge of a political abyss. He plots the murder of Matthews and orders his own assassination to avoid leaving a muddy footprint in history. But he doesn't stop there.
