The new President of San Santiago did not have a quiet term in office. The news networks and Council bureaucrats investigated him to reveal how deep into the Communist conspiracy to overthrow the government he and his advisors really were. The Council-aligned parties declared war on him and sought to stop his every initiative. Colonial voters and the Corporate parties generally maintained their support of him, arguing that none of the charges had been substantiated, but many politicians in the middle declared the President too toxic to support and walked away. Despite all of this, he used his Executive power to change regulations that expanded the economy and brought record-breaking quality of life improvements to the common Santiagan. The Colonists loved him.
