This article is about the former President of Earth. For the character on Single Female Lawyer, see Jenny McNeal.

President McNeal was the President of Earth in and prior to 3000, until the Omicronians, enraged over missing the end of the thousand-year-old TV programme Single Female Lawyer, came to Earth to obtain its final episode, and ultimately killed him. His death most likely led the way for Richard Nixon to be elected in his stead.

Biography

McNeal negotiates with Lrrr and Ndnd.

Little is known of the life of President McNeal. However, it is known that his death was rather unfair. In their threats against Earth, the Omicronians revealed they wanted McNeal, which was assumed to mean the President. Realising this, President McNeal would prefer fighting on than giving up his own life. Unfortunately, most of the Earthican politicians, lead by Zapp Brannigan, had another plan: to simply hand over the President to the invaders, which would hopefully lead to the ending of the invasion. However, the Omicronians were not after the President at all, but rather Jenny McNeal, the main character on Single Female Lawyer, and as such, during the handover, President McNeal was shot.

Trivia

  • His name was selected specifically to match the name Jenny McNeal, a reference to Ally McBeal, from the same episode.
