    This isn’t going to attract political comments like flies, no siree.

    Game concept sounds fun though.

    An intriguing concept. especially if the dev can flesh out the gameplay a bit and make it more complex, but the exclusive focus on the US is a bit of a turn off for me.

    Nothing wrong with simulating a US presidential administration, but many of the public policy and political elements are not going to be that relevant if you are from another country.

    I like how the Democracy series does it, while I haven’t tried the 4th release in the series, their gameplay model allowed for more flexibility and different scenarios.

    Is the president the one in the middle? How is he not the oldest one around?

    Edit: the president apparently has power to abolish the Electoral College. So I guess not even attempting to be realistic - at least a non-white-haired president has precedent.

      Apparently he (unsuccessfully) ran for the Kentucky state senate in 1951, prior to his chicken adventures.
