Case Study Of Kovic's Argument

Dave Kovic runs a temporary employment agency named Kovic’s Temps in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. He also has a sideline job of impersonating President Bill Mitchell because they have a resemblance. One day, he is requested to make an appearance as the President at a hotel by Duane Stevensen, a secret service agent. Dave thought it as it’s just a matter of security, but the truth is just to cover up Mitchell's extramarital affair with Randi, a White House staffer. One night, when President Mitchell suffered a stroke while he was having sex with Randi, that leads him in a coma. Bob Alexander, the White House Chief of Staff and Alan Reed, the Communications Director sees an opportunity to convince Dave to continue impersonating President Mitchell by telling him that the country would suffer a lot if the truth was revealed and if he did not do the impersonating. They also told Dave that the Vice President Gary Nance is mentally ill and Bob doesn’t want Vice President Nance to takes place because he will get caught about his lies and corruption. Only Dave, Alan, Bob, Duane, and the medical staff know about the switch and neither Randi nor Ellen Mitchell,
the First Lady was informed about the switch. The public was informed that president Mitchell has a minor circulatory problem of the head. Bob and Alan sent Vice President Nance to Africa on a 12-nation goodwill tour and compromised him in a loan fraud. Bob’s real plan is to utilize the power of the presidency through Dave as an impersonator for a short period of time. Bob is planning that Dave will nominate him as Vice President while President Mitchell will have a more serious stroke and Bob will be ascended as the new president. Dave's sense of humor regained President Mitchell's popularity. One day, he visited a homeless shelter together with the Fist Lady who does not really understand why he had taken an unforeseen interest. Without knowing it, Bob forged Mitchell's veto of a funding bill which includes the shelter. President Mitchell wanted the bill to be vetoed because of some budget issues, while Bob does it intentionally. When Dave is being confronted by the First Lady about the veto while he was taking a shower, he called Bob and Alan immediately and told him that if he can cut $650 million from the federal budget he can keep the shelter. The next day, Dave called his accountant friend Murray from Baltimore to help him rewrite the budget in order that $650 million may be restored. Dave does it publicly in front of the press just to make sure Bob won’t stop him. While First Lady is suspecting Dave that he is not really the real President Mitchell, Ellen deceived Dave into exposing the truth. Dave together with Duane showed Ellen the Bill on life support in the basement of the White House. Ellen and Dave decided to leave the White House. However, they realized that there are many good ways that they can do so they decided to return. When Bob realized that Dave is no longer under him, he threatened Dave that he will expose him.
Dave stood up to him and told Bob that if he does that he has more to lose if the truth was revealed. Dave then held a news conference and told the public that he is firing Bob and offering a full-employment program to Congress. Later on, Dave has met Vice President Nance who had been sent off to Africa and confronted him about the savings and loan scandal insisting that they both know that there is no credit to the accusation. Dave now told Alan about the whole plan was Bob's idea. On the other hand, Bob revealed about President Mitchell's involvement in the loan scandal while pushing his own candidacy for presidency realizing that he cannot go into hiding. Dave then decided to take charge for President Mitchell's
action.
