Passage Summary: An activist thinks the President should quit because nobody trusts her to lead, but the President argues that quitting would make the country look too unstable to the rest of the world.

Conclusion: President Zagel should step down from her position.

Reasoning: The President is unable to govern effectively because the public widely believes she rigged the election.

Analysis: This is a conflict between two competing priorities: domestic effectiveness versus international reputation and stability. To justify the activist's conclusion, we need a principle that places a higher value on the ability to govern than on the risks of appearing unstable. The activist's argument is vulnerable because it ignores the 'unacceptable' consequence mentioned by the President. Look for a principle that suggests a leader's primary duty is to be effective, or that public trust is a prerequisite for holding office that outweighs other concerns.
