Quotes 

• Vice President Jim Prescott : [to David through video conference]  the Cabinet has annulled its earlier action. I've instructed Secret Service to resume its charge of serving you: as President of the United States

  President David Palmer : [With Mike and Jenny sitting nearby]  I see

  Vice President Jim Prescott : And also I've tendered my resignation effective immediately and those members who voted against you have also agreed to resign

  President David Palmer : Jim, gentlemen, and ladies. We came dangerously close to war today, that all of us reacted emotionally to the nuclear detonation is understandable but leaders are required to have patience beyond human limits. The kind of action we nearly took should only be exercised after all other avenues have been exhausted, after the strictest standard of proof has been met. By casting me aside so quickly, you have lowered those standards and that was a profound mistake. It was not however a mistake you're likely to make again. Therefore I do not accept your resignation, we have a nation to heal today and all of you play a vital role in that healing process

  Vice President Jim Prescott : Mr. President, I don't know what to say

  President David Palmer : There's nothing to say. We have work to do, that'll be all

  President David Palmer : [to Jenny]  I want you to set up a press conference

  Jenny Dodge : When?

  President David Palmer : As soon as you can make it happen but I want it public. I want to speak to the people directly, they deserve my assurance

  Jenny Dodge : Yes Sir

  President David Palmer : [to Mike]  I want to thank you for calling CTU in the eleventh hour

  Mike Novick : Of course Mr. President

  President David Palmer : But you should've been there with me to the end. That's what I expected of you, that's why I appointed you. I'm relieving you of your post, effective immediately

  Mike Novick : Yes Mr. President
