The president's answer was broadcast worldwide on telenews: "That 'brilliant work', as you call it, was a device that might have led to war! Do you think we want it? Remember the promise that the first woman president made the world, Dr. Philips! As long as we sit in the White House there will be no need for war!"

Harry S. Truman's election in 1948, thus becoming the first openly LGBT person to be elected president. This was attributed to the honesty and courage she displayed in coming out, her leadership following the
Johnson Space Center bombing, the endorsement of her Secretary of State and eventual running mate and Vice President
George H. W. Bush, and moderate opposition to her Democratic opponent,
Jerry Brown. She had narrowly secured her party's nomination, having faced a fierce primary challenge from Bragg (who would later go on to be elected President in 2004 and 2008) and the prospect of being impeached by her own congressional party. • During her second term, she established the Mars-7 Alliance (comprising the United States, the Soviet Union, the
European Space Agency, the Coalition of Communist Countries for Spaceflight,
India,

Belarusian organized crime syndicate, and has acted on their behalf throughout his political career. • As a senator, he convinced then-President Cutler to end his administration's backroom deal with the Beloks' rival family, the Vodianovs, and work with the Beloks instead. As part of this, Wright led a group of Cutler administration staff in overseeing the bombing of the church where Sergey Vodianov and his fiancé Elena Federova were to be married, killing everyone except the bride and groom. • When running for president, Wright asked Natalia Belok to eliminate his main opponent in the primaries, which was accomplished by means of sabotaging her car, killing her husband and causing her to withdraw from the election and guaranteeing Wright's nomination. Wright would only realize afterwards that his conversation with Natalia had been recorded, giving the Beloks permanent leverage over him. • During his time as president, he worked to enable Natalia's master plan of stealing the gold from the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York. His Secret Service agents, loyal operatives of the Beloks, removed the gold bars and replaced them with painted clay duplicates, made from clay taken from a clay factory-turned-water treatment plant he bought through a shell company for his Chief of Staff's passion project. The gold was then transferred to a private prison Wright owns through another shell company, where the inmates worked to melt it down into buttons that the Beloks can then transfer discretely out of the country. • When Elena Federova allows herself to be captured by the FBI as part of a larger plan to expose and eliminate the Beloks' operatives in the US government, Wright has her tortured to try and find the recording that Natalia has been blackmailing him with, which Elena had stolen from the Beloks. • After Elena escapes and manages to ruin the attempt to get the gold out of the country, Wright is visited by Natalia, who reasserts her control over him by stabbing him in the hand and threatening him. ==Y==
