The Final President

The Final President is a political satire set in the near future. US President Boyd Lamm, burdened with numerous unresolved national issues and opposed by a former backer who owns the Atlantic Ocean, seeks to set America on the road to progress via the most ambitious public works project of all time – the Trans-National Canal, the project that will unite America – by cutting it in two. The TNC succeeds in inspiring, but its disastrous execution (much of LA is destroyed) at the hands of his ne'er-do-well son and a uniquely bizarre EPA-head (founder of the Organization for the Prevention of Cruelty to Inanimate Objects), forces the president to pursue an unimaginable means to achieve the desired end: the US will transition from a democracy, back to a monarchy. King Boyd I, America's final president, leads the nation on a still-more egregious path (including public executions broadcast by Fox News) that displays all the worst characteristics of centralized power. Peppered with outrageous events, at all stages, including the televised burning of the Constitution; construction of the White House moat; the permanent freezing of Chesapeake Bay; and the remarkable rise of Malibu Greenberg, the world's worst stand-up comedian, The Final President concludes with an unexpected and hilarious transition of power.
