Designated Survivor<\/em> Website<\/a> Thomas Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland, 24<\/em>) is the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and about to be fired since the President has decided to go with someone else for his second term.<\/p>\n Kirkman is also the designated survivor<\/a> for this year’s State of the Union<\/a>. He’s kept safe in an undisclosed location while the President gives his speech.<\/p>\n Then the unthinkable happens. An explosion destroys the Capitol building and with it the President, Vice President, the Speaker of the House and most cabinet, house and senate members. <\/p>\n Fortunately, the unthinkable has been thought of. That’s why Kirkman was not in the Capitol. And now he’s sworn in as the next President of the United States.<\/p>\n The most urgent questions on everyone’s mind are “Who did this?” and “Is the pencil pusher Kirkman really able to lead this country in this time of crisis?”.<\/p>\n I’ve learned the term and the meaning behind the “designated survivor” in the first season of The West Wing<\/em>. This is not going to be that show. <\/p>\n But it’s probably not going to be 24<\/em> either. Although with the conspiring already happening, who knows… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n I really liked the pilot. Everyone around Kirkman including himself doubts if he can do the job, but he appears to be a fighter. Someone who will tackle every challenge and obstacle that will come his way.<\/p>\n I’m curious how they will design the following years. When will there be re-elections and who will go up against him. How will they tackle the domestic and foreign topics?<\/p>\n This is one show I will definitely watch for the next few years.<\/p>\n
