Reprint of the 2nd story from
Amazing Spider-Man #583

In the White House on Inauguration Day, the Chameleon tries to impersonate and trap president-elect Barrack Obama to become the next President of the United States. Fortunately, the real Obama escapes and his vice-president-elect Joe Biden drives the real Obama to the Inauguration to catch the impostor. Meanwhile, outside the Capitol, Peter Parker has to sneak into the Inauguration because of his lack of credentials. When officers try to arrest him for trespassing, Senator John McCain recognizes Peter as a Daily Bugle photographer and gives him a press pass. When two Obamas show up to the Inauguration, Peter changes to Spider-Man and finds the impostor by posing a series of questions only the real Obama would know. With the Chameleon menace out of the way, the Inauguration ceremony proceeds as planned and Obama is sworn into the presidential office.
