Onetime VP and now-President Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus in her Emmy®-winning role) finds herself in the midst of a virtually unprecedented Electoral College tie – with her future as President coming down to only a few hundred votes--in Season 5 of the hit comedy series. With Amy and Dan on the ground in Nevada working on a recount, Selina finds herself spinning her wheels in D.C., as her staff continues their mission to make her seem presidential (even though she is the President) while fending off the ambitions of her charismatic Vice Presidential running mate Tom James, who in a twist of obscure constitutional procedure could end up becoming President. Over the course of this season, with the stakes for Selina higher than ever before, Veep continues to prove that in Washington, even the most banal decisions can have ripple effects – with unexpected and often hilarious consequences.
