What's the relation of FDR and Wilson to War on Terror/terrorism in House of Cards?
score:2
Accepted answer
I haven't seen the episode, but given the context I think I can offer an educated guess.
I don't think that the reference is really to do with how Wilson and FDR had to deal with terrorism at all.
Woodrow Wilson was President when the USA entered the First World War in April 1917 and FDR was President when the USA entered the Second World War in December 1941. Presumably Frank Underwood hopes his declaration of war against ICO will be seen as an historic act, comparable to their actions.
