Andrew Salamis Sherman (November 31, 2199 - February 2, 2293) was an American politician who briefly served as the 103rd President of the United States for the final four days of 2270.
He also served as Vice President under Claud Ouellette for the two years of his administration until the death of Ouellette. He was the second shortest serving President behind Udall Snell. His four day term was marked with chaos and skirmishes with Congress. After leaving Office he went on to become an author and public speaker. 
He had an ongoing rivalry with Speaker of the House Augustus Julius and described handing the office over to him as "the most humiliating thing any President has ever had to do." 
Historians and scholars have ranked Sherman in the bottom quartile of U.S. Presidents, owing in part to his short term of office (4 days), though he has been described as "more a forgettable president than a failed one".
=Early Life=
=Vice Presidency (2269-2270)=
Sherman was elected Vice President with Claud Ouellette. During his time as Vice President he cast two tie breaking votes.
==Tie breaking votes==
Sherman cast a sole tie breaking vote during his time as Vice President despite often presiding over the Senate.
==Ascension== 
On December 27, 2270 President Claud Ouellette suffered a stroke following the Crash of Airforce One. After doctors failed to bring him back from a vegetative state Sherman was sworn in as Acting President. After Ouellette was declared braindead Sherman submitted an appeal to activate section 3 of the 29th Amendment to make himself officially President. This would not be necessary as President Ouellette would die in his sleep soon later. 
=Presidency (2270)=
The Sherman Administration could be categorized as chaotic while limp, Andrew Sherman was sworn in at 7:53 PM on December 28, 2270. Congress had approved the Vice Presidents appeal and he officially became President.
He wanted his administration to continue the policies of the Ouellette Administration and to push more Liberty Legislation though but with a now Commawatch controlled Senate and House they made it clear his agenda was dead on arrival.
==First Day==
Andrew Sherman was sworn in as President late into the night of December 28th and would issue 4 Executive Orders revolving around environmental polices and placing a moratorium on evictions in the State of Connecticut. 
==Second Day==
On his second day he submitted an altered budget to Congress and invited Speaker Julius and Senate PPT Hasbin to discuss the budget, both roundly reject nearly every part of his amendments and declared it had no chance of ever passing. The President ended the meeting early and privatly fumed at their refusal to negotiate. 
The President as revenge vetoed four pieces of legislation sent to his desk.
==Third Day==
Congress overruled all of his vetoes by massive margins and PPT Hasbin declared he would refuse to confirm any nominees put forward.
==Forth and Final Day==
By the Fourth Day President Sherman, fed up with Congress and hating the living conditions of the Whitehouse, witch had fallen into disrepair decided to resign as President.
===Resignation===
President Andrew Sherman had to appoint James Halligan Acting Secretary of State to submit his resignation.
President Sherman wanted to take Marine One to the airport where Airforce One was stationed, but Secret Service refused his request as it was deemed unsafe due to lack of repairs. He ended up leaving the Whitehouse in armored Horse and Carriage where he went back to his Colorado home from Air Force One.
=Post-Presidency (2270-2293)=
On returning to Colorado he began work on his autobiography. He remained bitter and angry the rest of his life at what he considered the theft of his term. He never lost his grudge for Augustus Julius and hated him till the day he died.
