Andrew S. Sherman

From Wikimerica, the United States encyclopedia

**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 4 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 third shortest serving President behind Udall Snell, and Winfield Scott. His 4 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".

## Vice Presidency (2269-2270)

Sherman was elected Vice President with Claud Ouellette. During his time as Vice President he cast two tie breaking votes.

On December 27, 2270 President Claud Ouellette suffered a stroke while sleeping. 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.
