** The thing is, early in season 1 Kirkman comments that there could be three years left of his presidency, and Hookstraten replies that it's more like two and a half considering the primaries, so doesn't that place us in early 2018? It's the only way there's between 2 1/2 and 3 years left to the 2020 election. And in season 3 Kirkman says he's been president for two years, which would be a fair way to round it, and it would also allow him to run for president in 2024, [[HollywoodLaw even if the extra few months would rule it out in real life]].
