About this title

From Library Journal:

Through a combination of clever constitutional interpretation and PR wizardry, Hank Harrison, dry cleaner from Freka, Arkansas, finds himself president of the United States in one of the best political spoofs since Leonard Wibberly's The Mouse That Roared ( LJ 9/1/54). Catapulted to office as "Honorary President" by a successful round on Jeopardy! , Hank subs for the vacationing president in the chance of a lifetime. When the president suddenly dies, Hank finds himself the focus of a deftly crafted plot to keep the vice-president, known as "The Jerk," from taking office. Hank also learns that possession just may be nine-tenths of the law. Eckert, a former Congressman (R-N.Y.) and ambassador, imbues this first novel with infectious wit and insider knowledge. Aimed for publication in an election year, this deserves to go straight to the top of the charts. Highly recommended.
