91. There is a provision in the Constitution for an "acting President" [NOT].
You might want to take a gander at Article 2, Section I of the U.S. Constitution. That is what was at play here. Amendment 25 only pertains to the President's death or resignation, not incapacitation. That said:
Bullet proof vests are apparently not standard issue at the Secret Service.
In post 9/11 Washington, it's customary to allow unidentified aircraft, something that radar would have picked up when they were somewhere around Jersey, to just mosey around Washington.
When the demand is for the U.S. to remove their ground troops from the demilitarized zone and recall the 7th fleet or the president will be killed, play hardball until after you believe the president is dead(along with the other hostages) then,
and only then, do you acquiesce to the terrorist demands.
Nothing says political correctness better than a white President, Hispanic Veep, female Secy of Defense, and a black Speaker of the House.
When under attack, it is customary to make sure the president and VP are put in the same bunker.
During an attack on DC, don't bother finding shelter, go visit the sights anyhoo, and when a damaged Washington Monument starts crumbling, don't run as fast as you can, shuffle along like you don't have a care in the world. Don't worry, there's no way a hunk of concrete weighing several tons will fall far away enough to crush you...oh wait.
According to The Bourne Identity, there are assault teams ready at a moments notice at a consulate's office in Zurich but at the supposed most secure building in the world, said assault teams are 15 minutes away.
When 6 gunships loaded with Seals approach the White House and are being shot at by a bad ass weapon and after 2 or 3 of the copters are taken out, don't haul ass and work on a solution, just fly around in circles until said badass weapon shoots you down.
Speaking of which, when told to attempt no rescue or the hostages will be killed, attempt one anyway then act surprised when the terrorists keeps their promise.
When you have a pissed off ex-special forces SS agent taking out your entire crew, your best bet is to piss him off further by insulting his wife.
That's it...for now...

No one mentioned that our SS guys REALLY need to go back to the shooting range and actually learn how to shoot a bad guy? Maybe they need lessons from the NK in this film....Oh wait, they couldnt get a shot off since they were running into the line of fire and not wearing Kevlar.
Here we are; a bunch of psychopaths helping each other out.
