Veep has the best writers around right now.
Simon Blackwell (original writer on The Thick Of It/In The Loop) is also leaving Veep at the end of this series. Big shame.

Shot in a day, filming was an entirely unique experience to the series. Instead of allowing improvising, which has become a popular element of the show, Iannucci had the entire cast learn their scripts and started filming them immediately upon entering the room designed for their depositions. And they filmed in "real time," only allowing characters to watch scenes that would have aired live on TV as in a real deposition. When finished, that was it, each of the actors were free to go.
Election Night
Selina and her staff find their nerves growing frayed as each state result is called on election night.
Eh, I think David Mandel could be great as Veep's showrunner and I'm actually kind of looking forward to the changes.Oh my, really worried about next season now.
The current season is still a lot of fun but I agree with whoever said it that it's starting to feel like they're treading water -- and some parts don't make a lot of sense, especially when it comes to Dan, Amy, and kind of Jonah.
Honestly, I don't want her to be Veep again.
Being President offers more possibilities.
Although it was first addressed by Article II, if there were a tie in the Electoral College we would follow the process outlined in the 12th Amendment (ratified in 1804): the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President and the Senate shall choose the Vice-President.
The catch is that the votes in the House arent tallied by each representative: the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote. That means that all the representatives within a given state vote as a bloc, and each state has one vote. The majority of votes within that state bloc determine its vote.
The votes in the Senate are cast by the individual senators.
That also means that with an even 50 votes in the House and 50 in the Senate (D.C. doesnt get a vote), there is potential for yet another tie vote. But the 12th Amendment covers that too: if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. This section was later superseded by the 20th Amendment, which moved the start of the new session of Congress from March to early January.
If the Senate is unable to break a tie for the vice president, according to the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, the speaker of the House serves as acting president.
wow great writing. completely forgot about that possibility
So it seems like this is a real thing:

Yep. I was very entertained throughout. Loved how they managed to juggle all the characters like that too, it was hectic in a good way and we got the funny from everyone.Great finale.
