Most reasonable people do.
Maybe because i am a European that i like the original more than the modern remake.

Both are pretty bad shows anchored by an amusing performance of the starring role. I suppose the American version looks nicer.

Sure, but the British show knows it's bad, and has fun with that. It's not pretending to be DEEP.

Is it legally allowed that the wife of the president is also the VP to be.

Technically. The current laws only prohibit a president from directly nominating a relative to a position. But in the show, the *convention* was the one that pushed for Claire, and ended up nominating her. Sure, the Underwoods are depicted as pushing for that outcome in private, but I don't recall them ever publicly endorsing it.
You mean the law prevent only relatives to a position, does this only go for blood relatives ore also to non blood relatives like wife ore son/daughter in law.

Just finished watching Season 4.

So, in response to a newspaper article exposing (most) of the sh**t he's done, Frank decides to get himself out of this potentially Watergatesque position by launching an invasion of Syria and Iraq,  because a wartime president is harder to impeach.

Trailer seems to imply that he is going full tyrant soon, and plannig to get the Twenty-second Amendment repealed among other things.
Wait, does he not need to get elected to a second term before he plans to repeal the Twenty-second Amendment.
