I beg to differ. In the movie, the VP (Ben Kingsley) is set up by the CoS but during the Congressional Inquiry (or whatever it was), Dave gives him a BIG vote of confidence and I 'think' he becomes Prez after the real Prez passes away.
Yes. But initially they convinced Dave to take the job because they claimed the VP was mentally unstable.
Yup - part of the Chief of Staff's attempt to get his agenda rolling.
