President Billy Cabot

• President in: The Accidental Time Machine by Joe Haldeman

Jesus Christ shows up in the Oval Office, anoints the President as his First Bishop and sets him to proselytize the rest of the nation - which sets off the One Year War. The Army of the Lord, made of Christers who accept the President's visitor as being truly the returned Jesus, fight the Doubters who suspect this visitor of being nothing but a hoax, perpetrated via the use of a sophisticated hologramic images and pressor fields. In the course of the war, New York City is totally destroyed together with the eastern third of New York State, and so are Miami, Atlanta, large parts of Maryland and Virginia, and various other locations. After about half the population on the East Coast was killed, the situation is stabilised: the United States Government, headed by the President-Bishop and with Jesus making frequent appearances and performing various miracles, remains in control of the Eastern Seaboard and cuts itself completely off from the seceding Godless states to its west, known collectively as "Gommorrah" or "Holywood" (cinema and TV had been completely forbidden at Jesus' command). A string of killer satellites, known as "The Avenging Angels", is set to destroy any person or vehicle attempting to get across the Mississippi River, a situation which would persist over the next two millennia.

His administration signed a peace treaty with Iran to diffuse their nuclear weapons program in 2015 after the attempted coup failed and exposure of the Munsey conspiracy.
• Opened relations with Cuba by lifting the trade embargo in 2015.
• Initially escalated a conflict over Ukraine with new Russian President Maria Ostrova, leading to an air battle between air forces, before diffusing the conflict with the help of McCord.

In a further development to return a US asset (Russian military officer Dimitri Petrov) who had helped the US massively during the conflict but had been captured, Dalton authorised a spy swap for the officer with Russian spy Peter Buckley, a former CIA officer and US traitor. The move proved controversial but saw the return of Petrov.

• Faced with being only the second President in US history to lose his party nomination for a second term (after Franklin Pierce in 1856), Dalton is convinced by Secretary McCord and Chief of Staff Russell Jackson to run in the general election as an independent candidate in order to preserve his legacy and stop the detrimental actions of hawkish Republican nominee Evans and dovish isolationist Democratic nominee Fred Reynolds.

President Jonathan Lincoln Duncan

• President in The President is Missing by Bill Clinton and James Patterson
• The book begins with US President Jonathan Lincoln Duncan rehearsing a potential testimony with a House of Representatives select committee. It has been discovered that the president made a phone call to Suliman Cindoruk, the leader of the cyberterrorist group Sons of Jihad, and he is accused of negotiating with a terrorist. It was also discovered that the president ordered an attack to stop some Ukrainian operatives in Algeria who were attempting to kill Suliman. In the attack, an American CIA operative was killed and Suliman escaped. The president's aides advise him against testifying at the hearing, believing it will only lead to impeachment proceedings.
• Duncan has had immune thrombocytopenia—a disease causing low platelet count—for most of his political career, and the disorder has recently flared up again recently, forcing him to take steroids that impair his mental ability. Duncan then meets with the Speaker of the House, who has been the primary advocate for impeachment, and unsuccessfully attempts to convey to him the strategic importance of his suspicious-looking decisions.
• Duncan's daughter, who is studying in Paris, receives a message with the code "Dark Ages" from a young Eastern European woman named Nina. She tells her father about the strange person and the message, and she is requested to come back home immediately. The code word was known only to eight people, all high-ranking Cabinet or Cabinet-level officials, and is the code name for a cybersecurity operation that America is running after its systems were hacked.
• Determined to know the source of the leak, the president invites Nina to the White House. She tells the president that she only has half of the information the president needs. In order to get the full story, he must meet with her partner, who will give him the remaining pieces of the puzzle. Nina asks Duncan to meet her partner in a stadium where a baseball game is scheduled to take place later that week on a Friday. The president arrives at Nationals Park, incognito and without Secret Service protection, and meets the partner, named Augie. Meanwhile, mercenaries who were contracted by Suliman Cindoruk—a sniper known as Bach and two ground units—prepare to ambush and assassinate Nina and Augie.
• As Augie and the president leave the stadium, the assassin shoots and kills Nina, who was waiting in a van for the president and Augie, and the ground units converge. Duncan, who fought in the Gulf War with the Army Rangers, takes Augie's gun and manages to shoot two members of the ground team. The arrival of the Secret Service stops the shootout, and the president and Augie are extracted. The Secret Service, ignoring the president's demands, had followed him after seeing the baseball tickets while searching Nina earlier at the White House. The president's convoy heads to Virginia, but they are ambushed again. Two Secret Service agents are killed in the ensuing attack, but the president is unharmed and drives off with Augie. He arrives at a safe house, where he takes stock of the events of the evening. He learns that Nina and Augie created and distributed a highly destructive computer virus for Suliman, but they left and warned the US when they realized what it would do. The virus is scheduled to take effect the next day, which begins in a few hours.
• In the morning, a Laboratory Response Network building in Los Angeles is destroyed in an explosion, and soon after, investigators discover that a large California water treatment plant was hacked and was about to distribute contaminated water. Believing it to be a decoy, the president keeps his top cybersecurity team working on the virus threat instead of diverting them to help in California. He had previously arranged a covert meeting with leaders from three other major countries. The Prime Minister of Israel and the Chancellor of Germany arrive and are greeted warmly, and Augie explains the full extent of Dark Ages: it is an attack that would completely destroy the data on every internet-connected device in the US, leaving the country vulnerable to outside attack and forcing the government to retreat from its foreign policy objectives. The President of Russia was invited but sent the Prime Minister in his place; this creates distrust among the other delegations, who see it as another sign that Russia is sponsoring the attack. Duncan reveals that the US military has quickly built a rudimentary international network to maintain defensive abilities in the event of the Dark Ages virus launching.
• Duncan begins to suspect his vice president of being the leaker. She is still bitter that Duncan had beat her in the primaries, and she would take over as president if Duncan were impeached. The cybersecurity team, with Duncan's help, discover a way of rendering the virus ineffective, so they test it on a server at the Pentagon. This test inadvertently sets off the virus throughout the nation, but it is suspended after deleting only a few files. If the correct disable keyword is not entered in thirty minutes, Dark Ages will wipe everything out. At the same time, Bach and Suliman's other mercenaries attack again to kill Augie, but they are stopped by the Secret Service and a Marine Corps helicopter, and Bach is captured. Duncan assembles his top aides to try to guess the password, and at the last second his chief of staff correctly guesses the password and disables the virus.
• As they return to the White House, Duncan reveals that he had actually earlier entered the password, which he got from text messages with the anonymous leaker recovered from Nina's phone. Assembling his team to guess was just a ruse to lure the leaker into the light. The president confronts his chief of staff and tells her that he has evidence that she leaked "Dark Ages", and she tipped off Suliman as well. She had tried to frame the vice president, so she could be the hero and then take over as vice president, rescuing a once-promising political career nearly ended by a microphone gaffe. Duncan learns that Suliman had been sponsored by Russia and a faction in the House of Saud, both of whom wanted to weaken the superpower status of the US so they could expand their territory without interference. The president's popularity soars, and impeachment talks are dropped.
