March 19 address

The March 19 address was delivered by Claire Underwood, the 47th president of the United States, from the Cross Hall of the White House in Washington, D.C. in the early morning hours March 19, 2017. During the address, Underwood announced the military operation that killed Islamic Caliphate Organization leader Ahmed Al Ahmadi.
Underwood claimed that Russian president Viktor Petrov had been providing military resources, including arms and troops, in support of the Syrian government pursuing biological and chemical attacks against its civilian population. She subsequently announced that the United States would be intervening in the Syrian Civil War on the side of rebels in fighting both the Syrian government and ICO.
Underwood had promised her husband, former U.S. President Frank Underwood, that she would announce a pardon of him during the address; she never did, leading to increased tension between the two.
