Episode

President of Earth is the title held by the leader of the Earth government. The President is usually selected through elections held throughout Earth.

Overview

FXJKHR, the 60th president.

At some point the Earth united under a planetary government. This government and its flag seem to be modelled after those of the USA, which may imply the country seized control of the planet. The President of Earth is the planet's head of state, with elections being held at regular intervals or following a president's death, as in the case of the late President McNeal. Presidents may be any species, model of robot or cyborg as long as they receive enough votes. As of late 3000, the current president is Richard Nixon's head.

History
