July 4 Underwood-Usher meeting

The July 4 Underwood-Usher meeting took place on July 4, 2017, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C., between U.S. President Claire Underwood and U.S. Vice President Mark Usher. The meeting took place immediately after their meeting with Secret Service agent Rick Bowman had concluded.
During the meeting, Underwood confronted Usher over his objections to her visiting a military base over an anonymous threat. She questioned whether her safety was Usher's primary concern or if he was attempting to undermine her because of her endorsement of Nancy Gallagher for a congressional election, which Usher and the Shepherd family, a major political donor, had been opposed to.
