President McNeal was the president of Earth in and prior to 3000 until the Omicronians, enraged over missing the end of the thousand-year-old TV program Single Female Lawyer, came to Earth to obtain the final episode. In their threats against Earth, they revealed they wanted 'McNeal' (referring to Jenny McNeal, the main character on the TV show), which was assumed to mean the president.

Realising this, President McNeal would rather fight on than give up his own life. However, most of Earth's politicians, lead by Zapp Brannigan had another plan, to simply hand over the President to the invaders, which would hopefully lead to the ending of the invasion. However, the Omicronians were not at all after the President, but rather Jenny McNeal from the television program, and as such, during the handover, President McNeal was shot.

His death most likely lead the way for Richard Nixon to be elected in his stead.
