He also served as He also served as Vice President under Dinobop and Senator and Representative from Doulant as well as a Romarian State Judge. His Era known as the Herseyian Era was categorized by the slow rebirth of the Discordian state after the Great Exodus and the rise of several notable politicians like Joseph Stallin. His administration saw the creation of the State of Herseyria and revival of Narolia and Romaria. 
Hersey was also a prominent Administrator and member of Staff team at various points during 2021 and 2022. Initially being made Moderator by Big Blake he used his role to later overthrow President Naturegamer during the September Riots.
A controversial figure many Discordians credit him with the rebirth of Discordia while many claim he was a negative force during his Administration. During the latter days of his third term a group called pax would join the server and reign terror and contributing to Hersey's loss of re-election and denial of a fourth term by mcl5. He would return in March 2022 and win a fourth term as President beating out Joseph V. Stalin. He'd go on to win a fifth term against the group of Discordian Veterans known as the ""Old Guard".

====September Coup====
On the day of September 25, 2021 riots broke out over Anti-Admin Sentiment, Inactivity of Government and a general anger at the state of the Republic. The riots saw many influential Discordians finally break off their relationship with Discordia and leave the Nation to help in the growth of Calluris. During the riots the Commander-in-Chief, Naturegamer03 was nowhere to be found during the chaos.
John Hersey, a disliked Former Representative and State Judge in Romaria who was the Owner of the Republic of Krameria had seen the chaos unfolding and decided he was going to take action. Late into to the afternoon he began plotting out how he would coup the President and take control of the Government. He messaged several high ranking Discordians who had stayed like Smile Not and several incumbent admins to test the waters on the possibility of him just taking the President role from Nature. Hersey had been given the moderator role by Big Blake months before as a sort of joke. After believing he would not be stopped he took Natures President role and assigned it to himself.
