Drama series. The first female President of the United States, Mackenzie
Allen. An Independent, Mac finds few allies in Washington and must
navigate the at times treacherous waters of the political world, as she
balances being a mother and leader of the free world. Emmy-winner Donald
Sutherland stars as her nemesis, Speaker of the House Nathan Templeton,
who espouses a different political philosophy than Mac… and
second-guesses her every move.
Mac's husband, Rod Calloway, is trying to find his way in the new role
of First Gentleman, while teenage twins Horace, one of the most popular
kids in school, and Rebecca, a rebellious teenager with raging hormones,
as well as seven-year-old Amy, must learn to deal with their mother's
new role as President.
Chief of Staff Jim Gardner, who often finds himself butting heads with
Rod, and Press Secretary Kelly Ludlow, help steer the ship of state, and
Richard "Dickie" McDonald serves as special media advisor to
the President, as she contemplates running for election in the next
race. Geena Davis recently won the Golden Globe Award for Best
Performance by an Actress in a Television Series, Drama and was the
most-watched Tuesday drama debut on any USA network in the last five
years, after 12 episodes the series went on hiatus.
