The Presidency of Conrad Joseph Dalton began at noon on the 20th of January 2013 and ended at noon on the 20th of January 2021 when he was succeeded by his protegee, former Secretary of State Elizabeth Adams McCord.

In 2015, a U.S. Strategic Command stress test on a possible nuclear weapons launches by the Russian Federation was executed without any warning by the STRATCOM Commander, General Bradley. Assuming the United States were under attack, Dalton proceeded to authorize nuclear strikes against Russia in retaliation, however the stress test was cancelled in the last minute and launches aborted by the same General, who later received a dishonorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force.

Although the show never explicitly stated it, he initially seemed to be a member of the Republican Party until the party denied him its presidential nomination as a direct result of his acknowledgement of climate change and global climate issues. Pennsylvania Governor Sam Evans was nominated by the Republican Party, and Fred Reynolds by the Democrat Party, but Dalton won the 2016 Presidential Election through an election hosted by the House of Representatives. After that, Sam Evans appealed to the courts against the State of Ohio in the attempt of overturning the results. If the state was found guilty, it would have been the first time a sitting president would've been removed after a judicial order. However, Evans dropped his court request and Dalton was sworn in on January 20,2016.

He was succeded by the Secretary of State, Elizabeth McCord on January 20, 2021 after being elected as the 46th President of the United States of America.

Ideology and Policies

With Dalton intially being a member of the Republican Party, the presidency in the first phases adopted a neo-conservative and center-right agenda, with assumed tax cuts and increased funds to the military sector after Russian and Iranian threats.

In the later phase of his presidency, Dalton moved towards a more centrist, pragmatic and balanced approach, by ensuring the United States presence over all global affairs, strenghtening US credibility and prestige and at the same time severely weakining the Russian Federation through diplomacy and field operations. During his tenure, Ukraine was fully admitted into the Western world and organizations while keeping the state leadership of Ukraine in check, testified by the widespread use of blackmail and control over it's organization and policies.
