Well, finally found this clip after a long time. Head of State tells the story of Mays Gilliam. He is an alderman of the local Washington DC area. After being fired from his post, Mays is surprisingly chosen as the party candidate for the presidency (after his party's original presidential and vice-presidential nominees die in a plane crash; their two separate planes crashed into each other) to run against sitting vice-president Brian Lewis. Assuming the election was already lost, the party decided to pick a likable but losing minority candidate to improve their chances of another politician taking the office in the next presidential election. Little did they know, slowly by slowly this local alderman won the hearts of the people by stating and acknowledging the daily problems that people face. And instead went against what the government stand for.

This show is really inspirational. Although its just a comedy, BUT what we can learn from this is that no matter how much the government talk one day a true PEOPLE's leader will stand up. I always believe there is still leaders with a pure and true heart out there! for this I salute you and support you all the way!

The Clip below is from the final debate from the film... enjoy
