- Mr. President to Lyla Michaels's plan on the Dominators

An unnamed man, usually referred to as Mr. President, code name Traveler, was the President of the United States, who led the country during the Dominators crisis in 2016.

Biography
At some point before November 28th, 2016, the unnamed man became the President of the United States. During the start of the Dominators' invasion of Earth One, he was briefed by different specialists in the American government on how to handle the alien threat. Going to the debriefing point under the code name Traveler, the President listened to suggestions from the military and intelligence, agreeing with the Director of A.R.G.U.S. Lyla Michaels's proposition of refusing to be passive during the alien threat. Suspicious of four alien ships gathering intel, Traveler said that he would not want to be remembered as the leader who did nothing when the aliens were preparing to attack. However, before he could relay orders, the President was abducted with a tractor beam from the Dominators' mothership.

Personality
Mr. President was a bold and uncompromising man, distasteful of inaction and approving of Lyla Michaels for having "balls". He deeply cared both for the United States and his own reputation as a politician, deciding that to do nothing but cover up the threat as President Eisenhower did would only aggravate citizens and allow aliens to do what they please. Despite Lyla being outnumbered among the rest of the President's advisors, he gave support to her suggestion of action.
