The President is coming up on the second year anniversary of his tenure, and his time in office has not been looking good as of the present. Despite firm support from the allies of the United Imperium and the Armed Peackeepers/Fighting Pacifists Alliance (APFPA), growth has seemingly stagnated. A spike in oil prices, excessive military spending, and a lack of investment in farming are to blame. Nevertheless, the President has not changed stances on national energy, military spending, or agriculture. Liberals in Congress are calling on the President to invest in ecology and renewable energy-The President's allies in the Unitarian and Conservative party have also called on the President for reforms. The President has been touting a secret project long in the works, but his lack of oversight regarding the companies involved on the project (the most notable are Fermi Energy, Rayon Inc., and the Bell Corporation), has led to stagnation, and the whole thing has become a waste of money in general. Despite all this, the President's approval rating remains high-however, following the conviction of three high ranking officials in the NIEA of illegal espionage and war crimes in the Carolina Crisis and accusations of corruption within the government and the Roosevelt Daily have made it clear that the President needs to clean up his act, or else lose the 2070 elections.
