Gavin Richard Kramer (2009-2011)
Gavin R. Kramer served as the 46th Vice President of the United States to the 43rd President of the United States, Scott W. Harvey, from 2001 to 2009.

The Republican ticket of Kramer and his running mate, Senator H. Blake Jasper II of Texas defeated the Democratic ticket Governor Bradley Garland and his running mate Senator Tom Paxton as Illinois in the 2008 presidential election, winning 279 electoral votes to 259.

Kramer and Jasper were inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States and the 47th Vice President of the United States on January 20th, 2009.

On March 18, 2010, fourteen months into Kramer's presidency, his son Raymond Kramer was kidnapped by terrorists, but was rescued with the help of Vice President Jasper's son, Henry Jasper.

On January 23, 2011, President Kramer was murdered by Duane Somers, who had hacked into Henry Jasper's pistol as he was holding the commander-in-chief hostage. He was 54 years of age.

Henry Blake Jasper II (2011-2013)
H. Blake Jasper II served as the 47th Vice President of the United States to the 44th President of the United States, Gavin R. Kramer, from 2009 to 2011.

After President Kramer's assassination on January 23, 2011, Vice President Jasper was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States.

On February 1, 2011, he nominated Senator Donald S. Byrne of New York to be his Vice President. This selection caused controversy as Byrne was a Democrat and only one Vice-President in American history did not match the party of his President. However, on February 19, his nomination was approved by the Senate, who voted him in 75 to 22. Donald Byrne was inaugurated as the 48th Vice President of the United States on February 20.

Jasper fell victim to an anthrax attack at the White House on July 23, 2012, just months before the presidential election. Eight members of his cabinet were killed but Jasper survived with minor respiratory issues.

On November 6, 2012, Jasper was elected to the Presidency in his own right, with he and Vice-President Byrne defeating the Democratic ticket of Senator Joanne Cox of Michigan and Representative George Hanson of Tennessee 307 electoral votes to 231 in the presidential election.

Jasper and Byrne were reinaugurated as President and Vice President on January 20, 2013.

After Jasper's son, William Jasper, and his wife, Amelia Jasper, were murdered, he resigned from the presidency on March 9, 2013, just 49 days after his second inauguration.

Jasper himself was murdered on December 31, 2014 by a hitman working for Vice President Alexandra Kingsley. He was 50 years of age.

Donald Stephen Byrne (2013-2017)
Donald S. Byrne served as the 48th Vice President of the United States to the 45th President of the United States, H. Blake Jasper II, from 2011 to 2013.

Byrne ascended to the vice-presidency in the aftermath of President Gavin R. Kramer's assassination. On February 1, 2011, he was nominated by President Jasper and he was approved by the Senate on February 19 before being sworn in on February 20.

After Jasper's resignation on March 9, 2013, Byrne was then inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States. He was the third person to become President in four years, after Kramer was elected in 2008 and Jasper ascended in 2011.

He nominated Senator Alexandra C. Kingsley of Maryland as Vice President on February 27, and she was approved 78-19 by the Senate. Kingsley was inaugurated the following day, becoming the 49th Vice President of the United States and the first female to ever serve as vice president.

It was discovered in early 2014 that Byrne and Kingsley were engaged in an affair. This scandal was tremendously embarrassing for both parties and strained both marriages.

Byrne was seriously injured in an assassination attempt on December 31, 2014. Kingsley briefly became Acting President of the United States but after her role in the assassinations of ex-President Jasper and his family, as well as the attempted assassination of President Byrne, she was killed by Henry Jasper. She was 45 years old.

After Kingsley's death, Speaker of the House John F. Hammond became Acting President of the United States and served until January 19, 2015, when President Byrne successfully recovered from his injuries.

Soon after he recovered, he announced that he would not run for re-election and dedicated the remainder of his term to the memory of President Jasper, his wife Amelia and son Will.

The Democratic ticket of Governor Oliver W. Thwaites of Arkansas and Representative Edward K. Porter of Arkansas defeated the Republican ticket of Governor Jeff Stevens of Tennessee and Senator Bill Gunn of Georgia in the 2016 presidential election, winning 278 electoral votes to 260. Thwaites and Porter were inaugurated as President and Vice President on January 20, 2017.

Trivia
- Donald Byrne is the only President on the series to serve longer than two years.

- Despite serving the longest time as President, Byrne was never elected to the presidency in his own right, although he was elected as Vice President.

- The presidency (both official and acting) has been occupied by five individuals from 2009 to 2017, such is the chaotic nature of the series.

- Of the five individuals who served as President, four were previously Vice President. However, Gavin Kramer is the only Vice President not to assume the presidency prior to being elected.

- Alexandra Kingsley is the only individual to assume and vacate the Presidency on the same day. She briefly became Acting President before being murdered.

- John Hammond, who is not seen in-series, is the only one of these individuals to not be Vice President prior to becoming President. As recently ascended Vice President Kingsley was killed by Henry Jasper, Speaker of the House Hammond assumed the office of the Presidency until Byrne's recovery on January 19, 2015.
