C.J.'s Tease: 'Cap Over the Wall'

The single-serving bowl of oatmeal is referenced by C.J. to humanize the President and undercut Chris's joking Wheaties line; it functions narratively as a small, domestic touch that softens the tease and lends credibility to the President's personhood before a serious political move.

Before: Referenced as recently consumed by the President earlier that morning; exists as a verbal prop in the press narrative.

After: Remains a conversational prop — its narrative function completed as a humanizing aside; no physical action on the object occurs in the scene.
