President of Earth is the title held by the leader of the Earth government. The President is usually selected through elections held throughout Earth.
Overview
At some point the Earth united under a planetary government. This government and its flag seem to be modelled after those of the USA, which may imply the country seized control of the planet. The President of Earth is the planet's head of state, with elections being held at regular intervals or following a president's death, as in the case of the late President McNeal. Presidents may be any species, model of robot or cyborg as long as they receive enough votes, but they must be of Earthican citizenship (born on Earth). As of late 3000, the current president is Richard Nixon's head.
History
Earth has had numerous presidents, both humans, robots and aliens. After President McNeal was killed by Omicronians in an attack in year 3000, an election was held, which Richard Nixon's head won.
Nixon held the title until the Third Omicronian Invasion of Earth in 3010, in which he forfeited and Omicronian leader Lrrr gained office. While the Omicronians later left Earth, Nixon has since not been seen as the president in an episode (nor have anyone else). According to a comment by David X. Cohen in an interview, however, it's probably safe to assume Nixon regained office.[1]
Nixon will be challenged in another election in 3012[1] (7ACV03).[2]
