The popular show centers around Frank Underwood, the fictional Majority Whip from South Carolina, which is the state most heavily represented in the video. This isn't the first time politicians have shown their love for the thriller. It also cropped up in parody form at the White House Correspondents dinner and President Obama has declared his own liking for the show, saying that he wished Washington were really that "ruthlessly efficient."

Netflix will release the second season of House of Cards in its entirety on Feb. 14.
