Under the McCallum administration, there have been 3 vice presidents whom have served as his second in command. These people were Richard Banks, Sam Simon, and Travis Loretti.

## National Health

At the start of his presidency, John McCallum was thrust into a COVID-19 ridden country, the very virus that killed his predecessor. During the COVID-19 pandemic, his response was quick, closing down the nation to ensure that the country would recover from the global pandemic. He also contributed heavily to the strength of the Jesstopian Health and Safety Agency.

### COVID-19 Response

During his first year as President, he was tasked with addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. He invested over 55 billion dollars for COVID-19 vaccines and tests. He worked alongside David Harmond, the director of the Jesstopian Department Of Health at the time, to institute strong plans to ensure COVID-19 didn't continue to spread like wildfire. He continued to provide funding for health equipment for Jesstopian hospitals and health care facilities.

He also contributed over 52 billion dollars for burial plots for those who died from COVID-19, lessening the burden on COVID affected families. He worked with each state to provide eligible families with the financial assistance to help pay for groceries, cleaning products, hygiene products and more. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he suspended, at a federal level, all rent payments, and each person who rented a property was protected from eviction for non-payment of rent.

When the rest of the world was locking down their states, President McCallum was advocating for an open nation, but was unsuccessful in his attempt to keep the nation moving. He was told that millions around the nation would die if he didn't allow State governor's to close their state's down. He ultimately lost a battle in the Supreme Court, with the court saying "the President, has no authority over the states, in terms of how they conduct their business and in relation to if the state's remain open or no."

## Economic Policy

The entire economy has been improved under the leadership of President John McCallum. He is ranked as one of the most popular leaders of Jesstopia, and has ranked seventh overall. He has received more support from both parties then Diester's Administration.

### The Oil Production Bill

President McCallum issued several economic reform bills on December 22, 2020. The bills aimed to reduce heavy inflation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The inflation was up 105% due to the pandemic, and the oil, gas, and natural gas sector was hit the hardest. The policy aimed at increasing production of oil drilling sites and ensuring that oil production persisted

### Investing In Communities

On June 9, 2020, President McCallum invested over 2 billion dollars in building up stronger, safer communities, with the support and cooperation of States and their Governors around the nation. In total, at least, since taking on the role of President, McCallum has invested over 125 billion dollars in poor and low income communities, building thousands of homes more specifically in New Shire, Mesa and North Lorray. He signed several funding packages for schools and colleges in Brighton, Acacia, and Le Mont, the three newest states to be admitted as states.

On April 16, 2021, President McCallum committed an additional 32 billion dollars in creating and building affordable housing where he received unanimous support from both parties and houses of Congress. The 32 billion dollars was divided between 50 separate cities in over 22 counties. Each state received at least 2 billion to improve on school safety.

On May 9, 2021, President McCallum invested 55 Billion dollars in producing and distribution millions of COVID-19 tests and vaccines alike. He committed over 25 million dollars to invest in lower income neighborhood educational institutions as well as improve health care through state health agencies. He added over 23 million dollars to several state budgets, allocating it specifically for health and health coverage programs.

## Foreign Policy

American-Jesstopian relations have remained strong since he took over as President in 2020. He has built trade relations with US President Donald Trump before he left office in January 2021. During the Trump Presidency, he remained firm on working closely with the Trump administration as it cooperated with establishing tariff's on Mexican and Chinese imports. During the first year of his Presidency, McCallum signed 8 emergency tariff's of Chinese imports at a rate of 15.6% and on Mexican imports at 10.2%. However, relations between the United States Of America and the United States Of Jesstopia soured during the Presidency of Joe Biden, who Jesstopia sees as a weak leader, destroying the country from the inside out. While the Nationalist Party leans heavily Democratic, the Nationalist Party has slowly leaned more towards conservatism.

On February 23, 2022, President McCallum prepared to cut formal ties with Russia after it announced that it was planning an assault on Ukraine. On February 24, 2023, after the invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin, he exclaimed to his chiefs of staff the formal ties would be cut and that Russian assets would be frozen.

North Korea was seen during the leadership of Jessy The Great II and Jessy The Great III as an enemy of the world. Jesstopia never formally attempted to build a somewhat strong relationship with North Korea, and it even permanently banned Jesstopians from flying to or visiting North Korea. Over 8 million visas were suspended over the course of 1999 through 2021, because Jesstopian citizens were attempting to fly there. President McCallum extended the 1999 Ban On Jesstopian Travel To North Korea. The 2021 Ban On Jesstopian Travel To North Korea was signed quietly on November 21, 2021. It passed the Congress quietly as well before it was announced that the ban was extended indefinitely.

Cambridge relations with Jesstopia, began when it was founded only two short years ago. The country was formed with the help of President John McCallum and Jesstopia's military. Since its formation, Cambridge remains Jesstopia's closest ally, and has even aided in Jesstopia building a strong relationship with the Kingdom Of Polton.

Poltian relations existed from the early 1900s until about the time former King Marcus II ascended the throne on March 18, 1959. Marcus II destroyed all existing relations cutting ties with most democratic nations, including the US, JS, Canada, and the UK, turning Polton into a Kingdom of isolation and self-preservation. On February 25, 2023, when King Georgie V ascended the throne, President McCallum took a call from the young King. It was then, that Jesstopia realized that the entirety of Polton lived in fear under King Marcus II, and that Georgie V was trying to undo the wrongs that his father had left behind. He has put his country back on a path of security and prosperity.

## Education

Under the McCallum administration, education in Jesstopia improved significantly. He invested over 1.3 trillion in the national education system, hoping to improve the existing system. During his presidency, he invested about 422 billion in improving school safety measures throughout the country. On September 3, 2022, following months of fighting with Congress, President McCallum was granted additional funds to ensure that schools that were struggling to find help were financially supported to increase salaries.

On June 1, 2023, President McCallum implemented funding to allow low-income students to continue their education through the Jesstopian Continuing Education Program(JCEP) which is part of the Jesstopian Department Of Education. He continues to work with Education Secretary Jack Donnahue to ensure that schools are open to all persons, regardless of background.

On August 12, 2023, President McCallum personally paid for college for 5 special needs individuals who were looking to further their education. Not much press was given to this, as it was done behind closed doors. On August 16, 2023, the recipients came out and announced the President's Kindness. President McCallum didn't answer questions related to these payments.
