Hadrian Potter (July 30, 2441 - November 19, 2591) was an American politician and member of the Progressive Party. Potter was the 22nd President of Earth and 136th President of the United States from 2477 to 2485. 
==Early Life==
Born on July 30, 2441 as the middle son between three children, he grew up in suburban Pennsylvania. Potter earned his master's degree in journalism in 2464. His older sister Rose got him a job working with ABC/Fox on their morning show. He stayed at that role before entering politics.
==House of Representatives (2469-2477)==
Entering the House of Representatives from New York at 28, he was young, idealistic, and stalwart. Potter refused to let injustices go if he could do something about it, which lead to him butting heads with his fellow Progressives who were not willing to listen to the arguments of a freshman, the House baby, at that. Potter did find his stride after three terms, emerging as the Chair of the House Technology Committee in 2475.
In 2477, Potter mounted a challenge for President, being the youngest seeking person in that race.
==Presidency (2477-2485)==
Potter chose a more experienced Yuno Yura, Senator from San Francisco to be his running mate to round out his credentials, winning a marginal victory in 2476 against Boxer governor of South Korea Song Kim-San and Readjuster Michigan Senator Dante Kette. 
Potter was re-elected by a much more comfortable margin in 2480, facing Boxer Virginia Governor Ralph Northan III and Readjuster Rand Xi Paul CEO of Cyperlife. 
==Post presidency==
Potter left office on January 20, 2485, having served two full terms. Potter remained in active Progressive politics, eventually being elected chair at the 2503 National Chair election, holding office until 2535. He later served as Secretary of Media and Technology in President Hyrram King's cabinet from 2517 to 2521.
His children include future Representative Lillian Potter and Governor of New York Jackson Potter. He is the grandfather of Speaker Jerome Potter-Seo and Senator Tomoe Potter.
==Death==
Potter died of natural causes at the age of 150. He is interred at the Potter Presidential Library in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
