Aaron Kimball

 is the President of New California Republic in 2281.

Background
A former General, Kimball made his name leading NCR troops in the Mojave region, using his fame to get elected as President. A hawkish official, Kimball runs NCR more like an empire than a proper democratic republic and has invested enormous efforts on exerting NCR control of the Mojave. Many in NCR, like Chief Hanlon of the New California Rangers, are against Kimball's presidency, but General Oliver gives Kimball his utmost loyalty. Many suspect that the only reason Kimball is President is because his leadership turned back the Legion during the first Battle of Hoover Dam. Two attempts are made at his life during the quest Youll Know It When It Happens by a "NCR" sniper in the tower directly behind him(it is possible to see the actual sniper being thrown of the tower near the begining of the President Speech)and by a engineer in the crowd,who looks like a member of Caesars Legion in features.*WARNING* do not shoot either assassins before you reveal them or they reveal themselves otherwise you will be attacked by all of the NCR in the Area

Bugs

 * When given the mission to protect President Kimball from assassination and you have hacked the terminal and checked the blood stain, you are not given the option to talk to the NCR Ranger. As well as this, you cannot fast travel or wait. To get out of this bug, walk away from the dam until a pop-up appears saying to report to Colonel Moore and report that President Kimball is dead.
