Bonstock

Bonstock had been under a military rule for years. Ever since the Great Bonstocknian Civil War, the rule of Gustav Adolph and his son, Harald, had been the source of political power in Bonstock. All that was finally about to change.
It was a sunny day in Bonstock. An open-topped limousine was proceeding through the Bonstocknian capital of Port Yuko, on board the newly elected President of the Federal Republic of Bonstock, the socialist Roberto Sanchez. He was a small, but well groomed and well dressed man; he wore a nice business suit, as did the much taller bodyguards around him. Snipers and bodygaurds of the Bonstocknian Special Service were everywhere looking for threats, but thankfully, none were to be found. For now.
Sanchez was led up to a podium in front of the Bonstocknian Senate. There, on the steps of the Capitol, the Chief Justice of the Bonstocknian Supreme Court stood, a bible in his hands. Sanchez walked up.
The Chief Justice began. "Roberto Sanchez, please repeat after me. 'I, Roberto Sanchez, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the Federal Republic of Bonstock..."
Sanchez repeated, proudly.
Meanwhile, a military officer, watching on television, turned off his TV. "Fuckin' socialist... he's gonna ruin everything we've worked so hard for!"
The man was a small, dark haired man, who wore a Colonel's rank. His 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, guarded much of the Bonstocknian capital of Port Yuko. His telephone rang, and he picked it up.
"Colonel Brown speaking," he said.
"Jack, it's General Buckley. You watching the inaguration?"
"Yeah. I can't believe there's a socialist being sworn in as President now."
"Yeah, I'm not to happy myself. We've been fighting their type for years now. Well, we're soldiers, what can we do?"
"General, what if we decided to, say, forcefully remove him?"
"That would be great, but Jack, that's treason!"
"Ah, but no where in the pledge we take as officers does it say defend the President; the Constitution yes, but not the President."
"He is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces."
"Yes, but he's a socialist attacking our constitution!"
"Look, let's talk about this later. This conversation could be recorded."
"All right. Say, come over to my place for a barbeque tommarrow at noon. We can talk about this more there."
"All right, Jack. Keep your head on straight, we'll sort this out."
