In the Senate, Claire is chosen, and is sworn in as Acting President on January 20, 2017. Frank is sworn into his second term. Frank collaborates with Usher to win Ohio and Tennessee, becoming the President-elect of the United States. He is officially sworn into his second term on February 17, 2017.
After winning the Ohio election, Frank becomes President-elect of the United States.
Thanks to the assistance of the curious Jane Davis (Patricia Clarkson), Frank is out but he's not down. After enacting his plan to resign as president so he could avoid going down for the murder of Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara), Frank's new plan is to find the power from outside the White House.
It is revealed that Doug is in possession of birthday cards that have been used to send to Hammerschmidt. Claire discovers that Tom has been continuing his manuscript, including the things she confessed to him, such as Zoe and Russo's murder.
The ceremony that opens the episode that introduces the organization begins with the group chanting "Common Woe Be Done." And the episode ends with Frank burning a leaf from the Elysian Fields meeting place while chanting the same phrase.
But, after neither Underwood nor Conway obtained a majority of 26 votes, and with Claire Underwood having succeeded in winning the Senate vote, newly sworn-in Vice President Claire Underwood began serving as Acting President immediately upon taking office, serving until a President could be elected.

Later, in “Chapter 71,” we learn the real truth about everyone's parentage. Yes, Claire is pregnant with the late Frank Underwood's (Kevin Spacey) child, but that's not the only mommy shocker. Duncan isn't Annette's child at all — his biological mother is a housekeeper who had a one-night fling and became pregnant.
Originally Answered: Why don't Frank and Claire have sex with each other? Because they fell in love with each other not because of physical liking for each other rather because they loved each other's desire for power.
The confession explains the story Claire had crafted: after finding Frank dead, Claire told the public Frank died by her side in bed from an accidental overdose; she told the audience, however, that he was murdered. He threatens Claire with a letter opener, superficially cutting her and sending blood down her neck.
Yes Frank Underwood loves Claire Underwood. And if you know how much sharks love blood, you will be able to fathom the magnitude of that statement. Longer version: The Underwoods have been together for more than twenty years.
Why She Died: The cause of Jane's death remains unclear — but the reason is obvious. She messed with Claire Hale. She helps Cathy Durant escape, then lies to Claire about her involvement. This is enough for the president to put Jane in the "destroy" pile.
The season finale of House of Cards Season 5 left multiple cliffhangers dangling that could spell disaster for the future of the Underwood Legacy. Claire turned on Frank, Doug took the fall for Zoe's murder, and, most violently, LeAnn's car was run off the road in a graphic crash that is anything but an accident.
Yes, the Underwoods share a sexual dalliance, but they have also enslaved a new follower. Meechum has been tempted into breaking the sacred rules of the Secret Service. The kiss they share, with Meechum on Claire's neck, is all about Power. They are very turned on by manipulating someone into their service.
