Noah Grace

Noah Grace was the 33rd President of the United States of America and a former U.S. Senator of Montana. He was elected in 1940 after defeating incumbent President Roosevelt through an aggressive campaign that ridiculed Roosevelt as a war-monger and criticized his apparent plans to include the USA in further world events. Grace was re-elected in 1944 and again 1948, with the '48 election having the lowest vote turnout in US History. His reelection led to Congress passing an act that meant a candidate could only be elected for a further 4 terms, after fears that Noah Grace was growing to be too powerful. President Grace responded to this with: "America doesn't need Congress telling them who they should vote for". He died in December 1951 of a suspicious and sudden illness, and was succeeded by Vice-President Harvey McCullen. His death was greeted with skepticism and further questionings from the public as to how he died; given to the facts as many Grace insiders reported that he was in a fine medical condition shortly prior to his death and that the government rejected any medical autopsy on Grace's corpse leaves an impression that his "illness" was seen by some as a cover-up to something "sinister" (See Intel 11, Newspaper Article).

During his time in office, he approved the creation of the Liberty Defense Perimeter; made broadcasts known as "Evening Conversations" on the radio to calm the public as well as to suppress any knowledge of the Chimera; his broadcasts is much akin to Roosevelt's fireside chats. He also enacted a ban on immigration by refugees of the war, which was later repealed by his successor, Harvey McCullen to bolster falling troop numbers. Some of the public that were under his presidency, especially members of the Alliance for American Autonomy, disliked him for having, ironically, ruling the country as if he were a dictator; contrasting his early, slandering views on Roosevelt.
