The Earth presidential election of 3000 was held in November, 3000 for the new president of Earth. Prior to the election, the former president, McNeal had been assassinated by the Omicronians, and it is unknown whom held office during the period from the invasion to the election.
The contestants for the office started out with the Tastycrats' Jack Johnson and the Fingerlicans' John Jackson, but would later be joined by Richard Nixon, after Bender sold his body and Nixon bought it. But when Bender wanted his body back, Fry, Leela, and Bender go to the Watergate Hotel where Nixon was staying. Nixon traded the body to delete his threat, and was sure to lose. However, after the robot vote at 7:59 on election day, Nixon has won by a single vote, due to his new, massive robot body.
