MODESTO, Calif., May 27, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Republican vice-presidential nominee drops dead eleven days before election day. Benjamin Morgan, the Republican presidential candidate, makes a political decision to replace him with his political consultant, Makina, a divorced African American mother of two. Five days before the national election Morgan collapses while making a speech, and a day later is declared brain dead. Is it a coincidence or a sinister political scheme leading to murder? In Edward Heyman's new book, Yes Ma'am, Madam President, follow the gripping events in this fast-paced thriller.
The United States Constitution provides for succession of these officers while they are in office. How is the Republican Party going to resolve the issues raised in Yes Ma'am, Madam President when the candidates die before the election?
The Speaker of the House, Charles Atlas, ran for the presidency during the primary season, and was enraged when Morgan did not ask him to run as vice president, and now he will do anything to get the job. Makina's former husband, Sonny, a failure at everything, agrees to help the speaker, and the battle is joined in the House, the Senate and behind the scenes while the campaign goes forward to election day.
In Edward Heyman's first published novel, his characters discuss stem cell research, abortion, subsidies, death taxes, mega-mergers, and more, and asks the question, "Can a divorced African American woman become a Republican president of the United States?"
A fast entertaining read, Yes Ma'am, Madam President raises questions, and provides some answers derived from social, economic and political points of view. Be sure to get a copy of this thrilling book online at Xlibris.com and at Edwardsheyman.com today!
