Zachariah Richard Pointdexter (November 9, 2398 - October 23, 2499) was an American politician who served as the 20th President of Earth and 134th President of the United States from 2461 to 2469. Pointdexter was President during the Cameron Event and it dominated the vast majority of his Presidency.
Pointdexter grew up in New Zealand until moving to Melbourne, Australia at the age of six. At seven his family would become homeless following the collapse of his father, Joshua Pointdexter's mining business. Just six months later both his parents would die following a mugging. This would leave Pointdexter alone to fend for himself for the next twenty-four years. Pointdexter never received formal schooling past year four, instead receiving his education by attending libraries. Pointdexter eventually grew to enjoy his homeless lifestyle, feeling it freed him of unwanted duties. At the age of fifty-seven he would enter into politics and become a voice for the working class against the at the time in power, oligarchical power structure that effectively controlled American politics through capital and bribery.
Worried that Pointdexter could mount a meaningful challenge to the current system, he was adopted into the fold of businessman James Cambell who wanted to send him into Congress to vent manageable frustrations in a controlled environment. Pointdexter viewed the current Congress as functionally meaningless and set his sights on the Presidency. Cambell, worried he was losing control, reluctantly funded the campaign and Pointdexter narrowly won the 2460 United States Presidential Election.
