Nancy Pelosi is a member of the United States House of Representatives from California first elected to Congress in 1987. She served as the leader of the House Democratic Caucus and later as Speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011 prior to the tenure of Bob Birch.
In 2013, Congressman Frank Underwood hoarded tickets to the White House Correspondents Dinner, giving him control over seating arrangements, a power he used to leverage other members of the Legislative branch as well as the media. While negotiating for a better seat, Senator John McCain agreed to sit next to Conen O'Brien so long as Frank would not put Pelosi at his table as she was constantly attempting to friend him on Facebook.
