HOUSE OF CARDS (Season 2, Episode 1) Inspection: Decoding the Deck

Decoding the Deck: A House of Cards Inspection discusses the political/historical references made in the Netflix series House of Cards. Hosted by Albert Lawrence.

*This episode highlights two references from House of Cards Season 2, Episode 1 -- the Civil Rights Act of 1963/4 and the process of selecting the House Majority Whip.

House of Cards stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright.

*CORRECTIONS:
- Frank wants Jackie as House Majority Whip - not House Majority Leader.
- The Senate in House of Cards is controlled by the Republican Party - not the Democratic party.
