		She rushes to his deathbed, where he asks her to resign, so conservative Speaker of the House Nathan Templeton (portrayed by Donald Sutherland) can assume the presidency.
		When Allen begins to have second thoughts, Templeton derides her with a crudely sexist rant, in which he notes his antipathy for France.
		Speaking extemporaneously, she lets George W. Bush – err, Nathan Templeton – have it: “The responsibility of a great state is to serve the world, not to dominate it.” Everyone in the audience – even her staunchest critics – instantly showers her in glowing adoration.

		And Allen’s just about to do it, too, when Templeton, whose every entrance is announced with threatening music, makes a callous comment about a Nigerian woman sentenced to die because she committed adultery.
		What Templeton, who seethes every line as if the coals of hell were barbecuing his liver, doesn’t realize is that he’s gone just a little bit too far.
		And power, as Templeton reminds Allen, is dangerous in the hands of people who don’t want it.

		Among the movie stars calling prime time home these days, perhaps the most surprising convert is screen icon Donald Sutherland, who's been butting heads (and heads of state) with Geena Davis' president as Speaker of the House Nathan Templeton on ABC's Commander in Chief (Tuesdays at 9 pm/ET).
		Not counting a few guest stints on such '60s series as The Saint and The Avengers, this is his first real TV gig.
		"[Nathan Templeton] has at least three levels of exposure: He's the political man dealing out there where everybody can see him.

	Chicago Tribune \| Maureen Ryan
		Nathan Templeton (Donald Sutherland) on "Commander in Chief": This powerful politician’s smile is like the gaze of the cobra; it’s scary enough to freeze his prey in place as he prepares to devour them.
		Sutherland’s Templeton, who’s got President Mackenzie Allen in his sights, is one of the few compelling (and believable) villains on the current TV landscape, and the rocky first few months of the Allen administration should provide many more juicy showdowns with this crafty pol.
		I wouldn't include Nathan Templeton in my list of favorite TV characters, but I do agree that Donald Sutherland brings a palpable malice to the role.

		When he suffers a fatal aneurysm, his associates, including his chief of staff (Chicago stage veteran Harry Lennix in a potentially break-through role), want her to resign, claiming her politics are the problem, not her sex.
		Clearly, the knives are out, none sharper than that of Speaker of the House and presidential wannabe Nathan Templeton (Don-ald Sutherland).
		It all promises to be addictive watching, especially because, with Sutherland's Templeton, the show's creators give Davis such a smarmy, worthy adversary.

		That way, the presidency goes to House Speaker Nathan Templeton (Donald Sutherland), who is more in tune with Bridges' policies.
		Still, she doesn't make up her mind until Templeton delivers repugnant, outdated and sexist comments, resulting in the exact opposite effect of what he intended.
		And yet, except for vague references to Templeton's hawkishness and sympathy for creationism, those supposedly crucial and pivotal issues go entirely unmentioned, much less unexplored.

		And every episode I delight in the dozens of ways Nathan Templeton manages to show how evil he is. He's just so deliciously dastardly.
		The rule for such things should be "what would Queen Elizabeth have done at your age?" An let me tell you, in her younger days, Her Majesty was not averse to showing a discreet amount of cleavage.
		As for the show, I agree, it is pretty much a one trick pony, and as much as I like Donald Sutherland this whole business of Templeton as permanent antagonist to Mackenzie Allen just doesn't work, and its not something "The West Wing" at its very worst would have resorted to.

		"What?" Jim: "We need you to resign, Mac." Melanie jumps in: "You see, if you resign, Nathan Templeton could move into office." As if this is the most logical explanation in the world.
		Having somewhat of a grasp on politics herself, Mac asks, "I know it would move Nathan Templeton into office; the question is, why would I want to move this Speaker of the House into office?" I'm starting to suspect that when we meet Nathan, he will have horns.
		In a fantastic exchange of expository dialogue, Jim and Melanie explain to Mac that she is an Independent, and that they need a Republican head of the administration to succeed President Bridges.

		And she may have resigned, ceding to the neo-conservative Speaker of the House, Nathan Templeton, played by Donald Sutherland, had Templeton not let fly his scathing tongue.
		Referring to a Nigerian woman that Vice President Allen was trying to rescue from a penalty of death, Templeton can’t remember her name and calls her an "adulterer." He ridicules her decision to ask France, a country, Templeton says, where officials "can’t get elected without the Muslim vote," for help.
		Earlier, while preparing to write the Vice President’s resignation speech, Allen’s communications directors argue over whether or not it is right for her to resign.

		Its bad guys are all Republicans, from the vile Speaker of the House Nathan Templeton (Donald Sutherland) to the White House staff members who urge Allen to resign, saying the world is not ready for a painted fingernail on the nuclear button.
		In the pilot, she threatens military force to save a Nigerian woman from being stoned for adultery; Templeton sniffs that she's wasting political capital on "a lady who couldn't keep her legs together."
		Perhaps a year from now she'll be just another tall, telegenic politician who made it to the Oval Office, needing neither to prove nor apologize for her femininity.

		At any rate, they have cast the scene chewing Donald Sutherland (Lord of War, The Italian Job, Cold Mountain) as the president’s arch-political rival, Speaker of the House Nathan Templeton, “an SOB and a liar and he cheats at poker” (as the former president describes him).
		The show is not subtle, framing their argument such that only old school, repugnant chauvinists out of step with the times would oppose the idea of a female president, Commander-In-Chief allows the opportunity for an interesting examination of role reversals.
		Their captain, Mal (Nathan Fillion), does his best Han Solo in a ship so make-shift that it makes the Millennium Falcon look fresh out the factory.
