Last President of the United States

The last President of the United States was the last U.S. president in office before the Great War in 2077.

Background
The last president assumed the presidency by the start of 2077. Most of the information known about him comes from second-hand accounts by the Appalachian Enclave, the Capitol Post, and the Boston Bugle. While the exact affiliation he held is unknown, his party held a majority in at least the House of Representatives, as the Speaker of the House is listed as a member of his Cabinet.

At some point before the war, he was organizing a summit involving political and industrial leaders from the Appalachia Territory to discuss their success in automating local industry and businesses and how these efforts could be replicated across the nation. It is unknown where and if the summit went ahead.

In 2077, he disbanded the White House press corps and abandoned the White House, relocating to Control Station ENCLAVE roughly six months before the war. This was because, before or during his presidency, he joined the Enclave, a secret shadow government of high ranking government officials, military officers and powerful corporate interests. While the president went into hiding, his Cabinet remained in Washington, and the Cabinet Nuclear Alarm system set up in case of a required evacuation from a nuclear war. However, the system was tampered with, and most of the Cabinet members were removed. The Secretaries of the Interior and Treasury went to the Whitespring bunker alongside Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Eckhart, while the president remained on the Enclave oil rig. On the day of the Great War, at 9:26 in the morning, his executive code was authenticated and used in response to detected Chinese ICBMs.
