President Frazier (R) saved America and the world when he avoided World War Three; he agreed to a partition of Iran. In so doing, he ensured that he would never be elected to anything again. His replacement, President Lyman (D) has done his best to make America forget all about Frazier’s ignominious end. In just two years, Lyman has forced through ratification of a global nuclear armament treaty, alienated the military by denying them a much-needed pay raise, and allowed a civilian-defence-worker strike to drag on and on. Many Americans regard the treaty as treasonous; loss of military confidence is weakening him; the strike makes the president look even weaker.
