Two similar side by side panels in green, white and black.
The left panel has an image of James Stewart standing in a room in the capital building holding a sheaf of papers in his right hand and envelopes in his left hand with the caption:
"1939: MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON. IDEALISTIC MAN STANDS UP FOR PRINCIPLE AND WINS... THE END."
The right panel depicts a man walking out the door of the same room, turning off the light, carrying a briefcase marked "JACK SMITH" and captioned:
"2025: MR SMITH LEAVES WASHINGTON. IDEALISTIC MAN STANDS UP FOR PRINCIPLE AND IS DRIVEN OUT BY CORRUPTION... THE END OF PRESIDENTIAL ACCOUNTABILITY."
