Produktbeschreibung

You have just been sworn in as President of the United States. Both Houses of Congress have majorities of the opposing party. You have one hundred days to resurrect economic growth from the extant dismal malaise. You are resigned to only having one term in office. How will you begin?
You are President Richard Sage, a determined yet diplomatic pragmatist. Your term in the U.S. Senate has made you acutely aware of the ebb and flow of power and influence in Washington, D.C. You are convinced that no significant legislation can be passed without the active support of the American people. Following the lead of FDR and using the model of Ronald Reagan, you mobilize the citizenry to pressure every Congressman to support specific legislation that you have introduced via your party's leadership.
