A 2070’s teenager, manipulated by his A.I. mentor to be selected as the first anonymous president, leads us out of sixty years of celebrity rule while fighting to return the U.S. to a better state.

SYNOPSIS:

The United States Congress has amended the U.S. Constitution so the president is no longer ELECTED but SELECTED from a database of applicants. The president must govern anonymously through a secure computer interface. The architect of the anonymous presidency is SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE BOB HORRIGAN. He has the Joe Dirtiest hair in D.C.

JACK HALVERSON, 18, is elected student body president of Thomas Jefferson High School in Philadelphia. Jack didn’t seek the office, but his classmates trust him to save their school from going totally on-line. Of Mount Rushmore’s presidential quartet, Jack most resembles GWash. If Jack cut down a cherry tree, he’d admit it.

Unbeknownst to Jack, OLIVIA A.I., his artificial intelligence mentor, enters him into the U.S. presidential selection process. Despite his lack of qualifications, Jack is selected as the first anonymous president. Speaker Horrigan has corrupted the selection algorithm to pick a teen.

The president’s physical presence in the White House is a robot, leaving Jack to govern from anywhere. He types to communicate with the country. Delivering his inaugural address from the back of his government class, Jack types a series of epic malaprops. Jack can hear his fellow students laughing at this new president.

Jack’s quasi-girlfriend is DAISY DIAZ, an undocumented immigrant who, like everyone, is unaware of Jack's secret job. Daisy’s idealism about America is the foil to Jack’s cynicism.

Jack uses his student body presidency and Daisy’s advice as a lab for his bigger job - PIOTUS. Will policies that work at school serve the country? After a rocky start, the country likes this president. Now, the Speaker must destroy his brainchild before it destroys him.

Jack’s parents have left Philadelphia to find work. As president, Jack institutes programs to help them. Largely unsuccessful, Jack learns it’s harder being a good son than a good president.

On their way to France for an eco-conference, the Speaker kicks the presidential robot off Air Force One. Instead, the robot flies commercial. In Paris, the president’s high school French delights and horrifies the populace.

KIRK CULBERTSON, 17, is Jack’s classmate and a later day Jeff Spiccoli: skater, reformed tagger, stoner and gamer. Jack convinces Kirk that the presidential interface is actually a computer game. In the most harrowing transfer of power in U.S. history, Kirk switches computers on Jack and “plays the game”, governing the United States of America.

The Speaker finds Kirk, holds him captive, yet lets him continue playing. Kirk remains blissfully unaware of what he’s doing. The crisis peaks when Kirk leads the country in a “National Day of Party” turning the White House into Coachella East. Meanwhile, the Speaker orchestrates a perceived Armageddon. The country is in a panic.

Now, Jack must come to DC, find Kirk, confront the Speaker and take the country back with the help of his friends, Olivia A.I. and millions of her artificial intelligence colleagues.
