Sometimes the fact that everything takes place in a single day really strains our acceptance. The chip has to get CTU. Jack draws the men away from the clinic while the other two try to deliver the chip. But everyone gets waylaid. The Vice President is forming a coup along with the Chief of Staff. He has called a cabinet meeting while Palmer is about to make a speech. They are going to do the 25th Amendment thing and have him removed from office as incompetent. This is a real stretch. To set this up would take some time, not a couple hours. Throw out the reality and things continue to boil. The torture of Jack continues and we are set up for a incredible last few hours.
