The Oval Office

This room is famous as being the office of the President of the United States.  This room is set aside as being the most powerful office in the world.  After winning the election and a place in history, a Democrat or a Republican finds himself with the task of making the decisions that can mean war or peace to the World.  Only one man at a time can work here and it has an atmosphere that carries a mighty power, which could corrupt.  It is almost impossible to walk away after ones time in office has elapsed and usually the occupant gives way to the next with a grace and purpose that is shown to be generous and peaceful.

 Only now has come a time, when the office has so corrupted the user that his mind has shown him to be unfit for office.  His refusal to admit that he had lost an election and he had no right to return for a second term.  Twice this man has been impeached and twice has to face the justice of his fellows.  He will be remembered as inciting an unruly mob to break into the Capital and re-make the result of the election.  His own belief that the election was stolen from him is unjustified and like a work of fiction he cannot acknowledge the unthinkable that he has lost.

 Eventually he is persuaded to leave and face in the critics of his wrongdoings.  It seemed that he had been manipulated into an untenable course of action, where no gentleman can be found.  He leaves with little grace and faces an uncertain future, as this still proud man is forced to concede his position like a rat leaving a sinking ship.  His so-called friends gradually fade away, leaving him alone and he is forced to make a farewell speech honoring his own achievements as he accepts the lonely walk away.

 His successor is an honorable man and has to keep his head held high and redraw the actions of the former President, who has been allowed to make outrageous claims in dealing with people.  Policy must be re-written and God Himself must look on and guide them both according to His law.
