As President Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland) has been settling into his highly unexpected term as the commander-in-chief on the ABC hit drama Designated Survivor, unrest is still swirling around him and the country.

We find that out in the exclusive clip below. Kirkman is making a speech to the nations’ governors about unity and coming together when all of a sudden shots ring out and everybody runs for cover:

The shots are going to interrupt Kirkman’s attempt at getting a new Congress elected. Remember, the entire House and Senate were in the Capitol when it blew up so… yeah, there’s a lot for Kirkman to do, and being shot at isn’t helping matters.

    Well, not the entire House and Senate. Congress also had a designated survivor, Congresswoman Kimble Hookstraten, brilliantly portrayed by Virginia Madsen. And there's also Congressman Peter MacLeish, who was in the Capitol when it blew up, but mysteriously survived the attack.
