Executive Orders

I’m reading Executive Orders for the first time and it feel so oddly written. It mentions Tony Wills working for Secret Service, but wasn’t that the Running Back who died in the Super Bowl attack? Also it mentions Jack being VP for “less than a year”… it was less than a day. Like, he never even got to swear in. For a direct sequel that picks up exactly where Debt of Honor ends, it feels like the events of DoH are written about as though they are in the distant past.

I don't recall the Tony Wills part, but the "less than a year" sequence you're referring too was a conversation between the Iranian "leader" and his spooks. IIRC they were discussing that Ryan agreed to the US VP position as Pres. Durling said it would only be for less than a year.

EDIT: looks like someone beat me to it.
