Lauren Pendleton is the 44th President of the United States in Aberrant.

Biography[]

Pendleton was born in Irvine, California in 1952. As a college sophomore, she came to the conclusion that all the evils of the world boiled down to lie that we just have to accept some things as unchangeable. She representative California in Congress, and in 2004 was nominated by the Libertarian Party to run for president. The two main parties, rocked by the successive sex scandals of Bill Clinton and Robert Schroer, ignored her candidacy until far too late, and Pendleton eked out a victory to become America's first female president.

Pendleton is deeply committed to the Libertarian ideal of individual freedom; she aims to dismantle every function of government that limits the expression of personal will. However, as president she has been forced to make compromises, and after four years she had few major victories to run on. Her ambivalent relationship with Project Utopia is a liability as Americans become increasingly polarized on the issue of novas.

2008 Campaign[]

Pendleton runs for re-election in 2008, facing a four-way race against Randel Portman (Democrats), Mark Anthony Green (American Eagle) and Bernard Morrison (Republican). She holds in reserve FBI files that expose Green as a former member of a white supremacist organization, the Aryan Martyrs. She also makes several attempts to force Portman from the race, including engineering a job offer from Oxford University for Jennifer Portman, and fast-tracking several Supreme Court cases on nova rights.

The Aberrant metaplot assumes that Portman wins the election.
