 is the President of New California Republic in 2281.

Background
Not much is known about President Kimball yet. But that he won the first attack at hoover dam making him a winner and gave him a landslide during the election for president.

Quests

 * For the Republic, Part 2: The battle of hoover dam is almost coming, President Kimball, not knowing about the surrounding dangers, decides to have a speech that day about the troops, which ends up him being shot in the head and killed. Then the Courier is transported to General Oliver's private office, and Oliver tells the Courier about how Caesar's Legion is invading the dam using various sewage and heating pipes, then you're tasked with taking them out. Once you make your way outside, you battle your way across Hoover Dam and make it to the Legate's Camp, which is where the attackers are coming from, once you kill the Legion's main commander, General Oliver blasts through the camp's main gate with other fellow ranger, he then tells you that the battle has ended, and you will be rewarded. **Spoiler Alert**(Once this quest is completed, you have beaten the game the NCR way, save before you do this quest if you want to play afterwords) There is however one way to save president kimball. at the start of the mission you must go up to the sniper tower waiting for the assasin to show up. Kill the assassin then head back towards the presidents vertibird (using a speech check (level 50) to get past the guard, then you must examine the vertibird and disarm the bomb inside. Then head back down to ranger grant with a long range weapon (e.g. sniper rifle), an engineer will attempt to run onto the stage and kill the president, you must shoot him. After this President Kimball will run away to his vertibird and escape safely.*Must be checked if true* It has been heard that only desarming the bomb on the vertibird *also* save Kimball. The player must pass a science/explosive check of 50 and then tell the NCR security ranger officer that a bomb is on the vertibird, he will stop Kimball's speech and one of the guards will get headshotted, giving him time to run away to safety.The engineer haven't showed up (?) in that case.

Arizona Killer

There are many ways you can assassinate president Kimball during this mission. First you can rig the AA gun to shoot his vertibird which kill him. You need a science skill of 50 to do that. You could also rig the gun to explode mid speech. This requires 50 repair. If you have C4, a detonator, and a explosives skill of 50 you can rig watson's hat, which is on the table near the stairs he walks down to kill him. If you do not have these skills you can do what I did, and run to the sniper tower behind where he will make the speech, kill the ranger up there and take his gun and armor. I then ran over and talked to your partner so the president will come. From there I ran back over to the tower, went into sneak mode, and killed the president in VATS.

Effects of player actions

 * If you pull a gun while President Kimball is speaking, or before he arrives on his vertibird, the surrounding NCR Troopers will shoot at you, and you will not be able to complete the quest.


 * Attacking President Kimball during his speech will obviously make the NCR become hostile.
