President of the United States: Difference between revisions

One major problem area for presidential terms is in the novels which appeared during the 1990s and early 2000s. Here, a variety of not-particularly-reconcilable problems ensue. Not only did some of these "prose presidents" never serve in real life, but they do pretty massively conflict with each other. Most novels seem to agree that presidential order conforms to real history through [[Bill Clinton]]'s first term, but thereafter, there are a variety of other people — and rather too many of them to all be serving four year terms.  It is completely impossible to fit all the presidents from Clinton to [[Barack Obama]] (the latter being confirmed in the [[Russell T Davies]] era TV story ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') and "Wilderness Years" authors into any kind of sensible timeline. Later, in the [[Chris Chibnall]] era episode ''[[Rosa (TV story)|Rosa]]'', Clinton is established as being president in 1999 (in the real word, his second term ran from 1997 to 2001), which further limits the room for presidential terms in the novels between Clinton and Obama.
