Average Joe
When an average guy becomes the most powerful man in the world, is there still time for bowling?
In the not too distant future, politics have become corrupt and politicians are completely ineffective in addressing the needs of the country. Shutdowns! Gridlock! And Congress's approval rating is at an all-time low.
Drastic action is needed, and Senator Robert Quigley devises a plan to make the current state of affairs seem better by making them worse... and to become president in the process. By promoting a constitutional amendment to guarantee that a typical citizen becomes president, truly making the office one that is "of the (unqualified) people," Quigley sets his plan in motion.
Shortly after the amendment is ratified, the unwitting, unwilling, and not-at-all interested Joe Smith is inaugurated. A beer-drinking man whose work, finances, and family life are falling apart following the failure of his business, Joe's major skill is consistently achieving bowling scores in the 200s. Yet Joe's unusual, apolitical ways surprise everyone, especially Joe and his family. Join Joe as he turns the Washington establishment upside down.
