On January 6th, the 116th Congress was about to begin. Gerald Johannsen, the newly elected senator from Indiana, was about to be sworn in by the Vice President. Gerald knew the Vice President. He knew him from school. That man was Arnold Shortman, who was Hillary's choice for her running mate. He chatted with Arnold before he gave the official oath of senator. "Gerald, this is big." Arnold said. "Yeah, right." Gerald said. Gerald was sworn in. It's going to be a long day, Gerald said to himself.
It was. For 4 hours, Gerald debated with John McCain on abortion. McCain said it should be for the states to decide. Gerald said it should be legal with the exception for religious beliefs.
After that debate, the bill was passed 55-45. After Congress was adjourned, Gerald drove home. After eating dinner, Gerald told Phoebe about Congress that day. Phoebhe gave Gerald estatic news. She was pregnant. Gerald wasn't just esgatic. He was so happy that he took her out for a night drive, showing her all the monuments. When they got home, Phoebe was going to clean the house . Suddenly, Gerald said he had it under control.
Two things hit Phoebe. She had the best husband. And one who could be president.
