Anybody watch Madam Secretary tonight?

An excellent episode with Elizabeth McCord and the Chief of Staff leading the charge to meeting with the Cabinet to talk about invoking Section 4 of Article 25 of the US Constitution to keep Conrad from blowing up the Russian satellites and starting a war. They then met with Conrad and talked him into invoking Article 3 and have an emergency exam so that they would not have to send a letter to the Speaker invoking Article 25.

A very appropriate episode given Trump. Maybe someone should send copies of this episode to the Cabinet and members of Congress.
