July 4 Underwood-Usher-Bowman meeting

The July 4 Underwood-Usher-Bowman 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, U.S. Vice President Mark Usher and Secret Service agent Rick Bowman. The meeting was held to discuss threats against Underwood as the first female president, which had increased since the indictment of her husband, former president Frank Underwood.
During the meeting, Usher and Bowman informed Underwood that her appearance at a military base to deliver a July 4 address later that day was being cancelled due to an anonymous threat from a solider; Underwood overruled the decision and continued with the visit despite the threat.
