The old President did not accept his Impeachment at the hands of the Convention of States. He stepped out of Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews and ordered the military to close down the temporary offices for the new Congress at Camp David. The new President responded by stepping out of the White House and noting that it is an American tradition that the military stay non-partisan and not engage in political conflict. He uttered an order to follow this tradition for those willing to listen to him, but said that he understood the sense of duty that may require some to follow the orders of the previous President. The vast majority followed his order, though some attempted to heed the other orders, most from the various bases near Washington D.C.. The Marine Corps had to deal with nightly infiltration attempts at both the White House and Camp David, and both resembled war zones for months as the Washington Resistance used every weapon at their disposal in an attempt to drive the new government out of the district. Both perimeters held, but the rioters burned every building around them to the ground and scorched the very landscape down to bare earth.
