Plot

The pilot maintained the mystery about which of the two brothers became President until the end of that episode, when it was revealed that Jack dies young. The circumstances of his death were left unknown until the season one (and series) finale; where it was learned that Jack had served in the War of the Americas, and as a public defender, before running for political office at Bobby's suggestion, only to be killed during a convenience store robbery.

Jack's death inspired Bobby to take his brother's place, eventually leading to his election as President in 2040. President Robert McCallister became known as "The Great Believer", for his determination and faith in the face of many obstacles; from international conflicts, to scandals within his own administration, and attacks upon his reputation. Memories of Jack are kept alive through Bobby; he marries his brother's ex-girlfriend Courtney in 2025, and has one of Jack's best friends as a member of his staff.
