"Stronger Than You" - 47th President of the United States
John Archambault was the last legitimate President of the United States, elected in 2013 after usurping the nomination from incumbent President, John McCain. Two years into his first term, the United States (and the world) came under attack from the Gem Homeworld, spearheaded by Yellow Diamond. Under Archambault's administration, the US, Russia, China, Japan and the EU cooperated to drive back the Gem enemies from their invasion spots in North America, Africa and Asia.
In 2016, he received a landslide second term, winning all but three EV. He vowed to drive the Gems away, and ensure they could never return to Earth. (D.C. never votes Republican) However, in 2019, the worst happened. Authorizing Operation Spear, President Archambault, and his Chief of Staff made a hasty retreat from the U.S. capital before it was destroyed by the Gem Armada in the earliest parts of "The Exchange". In the Exchange, President Archambault's plane went down over Oklahoma. While he survived the ordeal, he succumbed to an opportunistic infection 33 days after the Exchange. He was succeeded, de facto, by his Chief of Staff, Oswald Stankic. It is unknown what happened to the rest of his cabinet and the United States Congress, but Quartz Empire historians assume they were all killed in the Exchange.
In 2030, he was recognized by the Quartz Empire for his contributions to helping save the Earth from invasion, and a memorial to him was consecrated near the ruins of Washington D.C. by orders of the Imperial Court.
