People: Politics
| Henry Richards (NPC, OC) |
Henry Richards is the President of the United States. A moderate Republican who was chosen as Vice-President in an attempt to downplay the anti-mutant claims Lowe's pro-registration stance had garnered, Richards was catapulted into the Presidency upon Lowe's assassination. Richards has attempted to bring a conciliatory slant to politics, however often finds his hands tied by an increasingly pro-registration Congress. |
| Roger Lowe (FPC, OC: Lowe - now deceased ) |
Roger Lowe was the President of the United States from January 2005 to October 25, 2006 , when he was assassinated in Washington, D.C. Lowe came from nowhere to win the Republican primaries in 2004, and though the numbers were tight, he took the November election and was inaugurated in January of 2005. Lowe ran his campaign on generally conservative values and the hot-button topic of Mutant Registration. He maintained that the MRA makes America a safer place for all Americans, and that it is as much about protecting the rights and safety of mutant citizens as it is about protecting those of non-mutants. In February of 2005, there was an attempted assassination attempt on Lowe at a rally in New York City, and in the summer and fall of 2006, serious allegations about Lowe's campaign and its possible involvement in violent mutant incidents were raised. He was being investigated by the House Judiciary Committee when he was killed. |

| Jean Grey (PC, FC: Jean ) |
Jean Grey is a mutant rights activist who came to national attention after speaking before a Senate committee in 2001.

President Lowe also asked her to say a few words to the public at the 11/9 Purity Memorial. She often presents academic papers on subjects of mutant science and has guest lectured at several universities. She is perhaps most famously known as a public mutant, a powerful telekinetic whose abilities came to light after thwarting an assassination attempt on President Roger Lowe in February 2005, as well as the headmistress of the recently outed 'school for mutants', Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. |
