The various departments and agencies of the Federal government split between following the orders of the Convention of States and the old President and Congress. Many government employees were truly conflicted in their loyalties. Others were clear on where they stood. The confusion and chaos threatened to push America deeper into a civil war there would be no coming back from. But an interesting trend developed. While the softer social agencies proved nearly unanimous in their support of the old President, the law enforcement and military departments accepted the new President in greater numbers. Washington D.C. housed the greatest number of individuals loyal to the old President and proved to be the hardest nut for the new President and Senate to crack. The old Congress refused to leave, the Capitol Police defended them, and protesters and rioters surrounded the White House security zone. The new President eventually moved his administration to Camp David due to security concerns, where he put the military engineers to work on the next step of his plan to keep things from deteriorating further.
