Last week, Showtime’s Homeland kicked off what turned out to be a string of fictional plot lines involving the impeachment or removal of the President of the United States (Sunday's The Good Wife even talked about assassination). Now the April 22 episode "All In" (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/68864-s07e11-all-in/?do=getLastComment) turns all that talk into action when they officially "remove a President so despised, her own Cabinet lined up to get rid of her." I’m sure the left wing is getting chills just hearing about such a prospect happening.
Carrie (Claire Danes), Saul (Mandy Patinkin), and their own makeshift team travel to Moscow on a classified mission from President Keane (Elizabeth Marvel) to secure a significant witness in a political conspiracy against her administration. Unfortunately for them, the plan hits a huge snag when Keane’s Vice President Warner (Beau Bridges) officially ousts her from the presidency after the Supreme Court rules that the delivery of her Cabinet termination notices from the last episode was not sufficient enough to properly fire the members. Therefore, all the Cabinet members planning to vote for her removal retain their positions and use their power accordingly.
As of now, through the 25th Amendment, Keane is no longer president and removed from office.
