From Wikimerica, the United States encyclopedia

**James William Seeger Fagan** (born: September 11, 2518) is an American Politician who served as the 150th President of the United States from 2565 to 2569 as well as President of Earth and First Servant of State of Germany concurrently. He also served one term in the House of Representatives from 2538 to 2341.

Fagan became President after successfully leading a write in campaign for the Presidency, being the first person in history to have won a Presidential Election in such a way. He is the second President from the Readjuster Party. Fagan declined to run for a second term and retired from politics after the Presidency. He currently works as a woodworker in Portland Oregon.

# Early Life

James Fagan was born in Portland Oregon on September 11, 2518. He was born to two middle class airline pilots and grew up in Portland.

# Time in the House

Seeger Fagan would mount a populist campaign for the House against the highly unpopular David Johnson. He would narrowly win his election and would serve a single term in the house.

During his time as a Representative he would support legislation to increase environmental protections, decreasing the military budget, setting up a second mars base and other generally progressive legislation.

# Presidential Campaign

Fagan would publicly criticize incumbent President Bee Swains for several years on his personal Nowcast Account. His outspoken criticism would see him gain widespread popularity and would see him become a serious contender for the Presidency. He would run in the Progressive Party primary and would lose the nomination in a close race later found to have been rigged against him by high ranking party officials. Enraged he would abandon the progressive party and join the Readjuster party. He would lose the primary in that race as well and initially drop out to support Mason Fairbanks who won the nomination.

This support would last until several women came out accusing him of sexual assult. Fagan would retract his endorsement and would join back into the race with a write in campaign. With the Boxer Party candidate sparking little enthusiasm and with the Progressive Party candidate being accused of embezzlement and insider trading Fagan would come election night, win a bare majority of electoral votes thus winning the Presidency.

## White House break in

On June 13, 2567, a plane technician named Charles Armstrong successfully broke into the White House during the night. Successfully evading secret service detection he made his way to the outside of the oval office where he came across a sleeping President Fagan at his desk. He knocked on the window, waking Fagan up. He pointed to the door asking to be let in and a confused and tired Fagan opened the door for him.

Charles sat at the Resolute Desk across from the President and the two spoke for around an hour until a secret service agent noticed the open door and went to inspect the office. He saw the President with Charles and pulled his gun on him. Fagan ordered him to stand down and not to apprehend the "visitor". The two men spoke as agents quietly surrounded the office. Eventually Fagan told Charles he needed to return to sleep. At that point the two shook hands and an agent moved in to arrest Charles but was stopped by Fagan who ordered agents not to arrest him. Fagan said "this man is no threat to anything except my whisky, he sought an honest conversation with me and i will not take his liberty for such". Fagan personally escorted Charles off the White House grounds and gave him money for a cab ride home.
