The ensuing investigation led to Tusk's implication of Walker and Walker's resignation. With connection to China exposed, Walker was trapped and resigned his presidency.

Forget Right And Wrong: 'House Of Cards' Is About Pragmatism And Power
Spacey viewed portraying Underwood for a second season as a continuing learning process. Claire is furious that Underwood announced he would resign without consulting her before. Underwood states that this was the only way out, and that everything has gone according to his plan, a plan that was developed at Elysian Fields. Underwood plans on holding on to power with Underwood on the outside in the private sector and Claire on the inside in the White House. Underwood also reveals that he was the leak, and has been working with Doug to feed Hammerschmidt information.
The Murder Suspects
Underwood says that Claire will have to pardon him and Doug, however. However, neither Underwood nor Conway receive a majority of votes there, so the Senate chooses the Vice President, who will automatically assume to the Presidency until Congress votes again. In the Senate, Claire is chosen, and is sworn in as Acting President on January 20, 2017.
Season 3 (
Seeing that his candidate is losing, Conway's campaign manager, Mark Usher, switches sides to the Underwoods. The Underwood ticket wins both Ohio and Tennessee, and Frank is sworn in as president and Claire as vice president. The ultimate aim of the legislation is to create full employment across the United States, with Underwood desiring its scope to be as wide as that of the New Deal. It plans on reducing entitlements from both Social Security and welfare, instead focusing on putting Americans into full-time work. During the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Underwood publicly endorsed Catherine Durant for the position of running mate, but was secretly supporting Claire.
Season 6
Doug leaks information about Dunbar's secret meeting with Lucas and forces her to suspend her campaign. Frank recovers and resumes his position as president, agreeing to put Claire on the ticket for the upcoming election. In the first season, Underwood is a Democrat from South Carolina and the House majority whip. When that doesn't happen, he plots to take down the man who did get that position.
Underwood was officially sworn into his second term on February 17, 2017, the first time that a presidential inauguration had not occurred on January 20th. After a hostage crisis escalates, Underwood announces that he is going to war with terror as a fear tactic to win the election. Having given up on negotiating, one of the hostages is killed as a result, with Underwood and Claire staring coldly at the horrific footage.

After roughly 30 seconds of greeting protestors, Underwood was shot twice by Lucas Goodwin. Meechum returned fire, shooting Goodwin several times as he collapsed. In an interview with THR, executive producer Melissa James Gibson explains the shocking twist, and why it had to be Doug.

Underwood's first act as President was to renounce the asylum of Xander Feng, resulting in his deportation back to China and almost certain execution. Within a week of taking office, the Republicans gained a majority in the 2014 midterm elections. Tusk started guiding his money to the Republicans and Underwood ordered Seth Grayson to assist a reporter in revealing Xander Feng's connections to the money.
Underwood still lags in the polls, however, and on election night it appears he is going to lose to Conway. With help from Stamper and campaign strategist LeAnn Harvey (Neve Campbell), Underwood has NSA contractor Aidan Macallan (Damian Young) stage a cyberattack on several election stations. He also uses the fear of a possible terrorist attack to pressure the governors of Tennessee and Ohio to halt voting. The tactics work; the two states refuse to declare a winner, and the election drags on unresolved for several weeks. Frank Underwood's tenure as the 46th president of the United States began with his first inauguration on October 30, 2014, and ended on March 15, 2017 upon his resignation.
Underwood is fond of the head of his Secret Service detail, Edward Meechum, and it is hinted several times that they harbor unacknowledged sexual feelings for each other. When Meechum stumbles upon Underwood watching pornography, Underwood and Claire joke about there being sexual chemistry between the two men. Shortly after Underwood becomes vice president, he, Claire and Meechum have a threesome. On December 24, 2018, the same day that Spacey was charged with indecent assault and battery, he posted an unofficial short film continuation of House of Cards titled Let Me Be Frank to his YouTube channel.
On November 3, 2017, following sexual assault claims made against Spacey, Netflix cut ties with the actor, putting the character's fate in question. In a teaser trailer for the sixth season of House of Cards, it is shown that Underwood died in 2017 and is now buried next to his father in South Carolina. The series finale reveals that Underwood had planned to kill Claire as revenge for abandoning him, and that Stamper poisoned him to stop him from being publicly exposed as a murderer, to "protect the legacy from the man".
Frank and Claire allow the kidnappers to speak to the deposed leader of ICO, Yusuf al Ahmadi, after successfully obtaining the release of two of the hostages. Instead of defusing the situation as he agreed, al Ahmadi urges the kidnappers to kill the remaining hostage and broadcast the killing to the public. Meanwhile, Hammerschmidt publishes his story and threatens to end Frank's campaign weeks before the election. Claire urges Frank to use a heavier hand in the situation, and they decide to fight back by creating chaos.
In Congress, he was known for supporting states’ rights, and the League of Nations, but he turned down the opportunity to run to be Woodrow Wilson’s vice president in 1912 (an office he probably would have won, TIME suggested in 1925). House of Cards is an American political thriller television series created by Beau Willimon. It is based on the 1989 novel of the same name by Michael Dobbs and an adaptation of the 1990 British series of the same name by Andrew Davies, also from the novel. The first 13-episode season was released on February 1, 2013, on the streaming service Netflix.
Kern is then pelted by media for a piece he allegedly authored regarding the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. This subsequent negative media attention leads the President to select someone else, a personal friend of Underwood's, Catherine Durant, Senator from Louisiana. Claire became pregnant during Underwood's early campaigning years, but the child was aborted to help further Underwood's political career.
Meechum remains Underwood's bodyguard once he becomes the president, and there does not appear to be any continuing sexual relationship. Meechum remains fiercely loyal, however; he warns Underwood's biographer Tom Yates (Paul Sparks) not to write anything that would damage Underwood's reputation. In season 4, Underwood traces Meechum's hand with a marker on one of the walls of the White House when he wants to replace a Confederate painting; Meechum suggests he put up something he likes instead. He and his administration was investigated by the Declaration of War committee, which led to his resignation from the presidency on March 15, 2017, and was succeeded by his wife and Vice President, Claire Hale Underwood. After speaking to the crowd inside, Underwood went out to greet the protestors.
