President

The President is the the head of state of the United Federation, a fictional nation similar to the United States. He resides in Central City, in a building very similar to the White House.

The President first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2, when Sonic and Tails catch up to his limousine in order to use his computer to pinpoint the location of Dr. Eggman, as the doctor had contacted the President seconds earlier. He is then briefly mentioned by Rouge the Bat during Sonic Heroes; if Team Dark stays still for some time, she will say "I haven't seen the President lately.". He reappears in Shadow the Hedgehog, where he holds an admiration for Sonic and Shadow for saving the world in Sonic Adventure 2, and appears in several cutscenes trying to deal with the alien invasion of the Black Arms.

He is voiced by Steve Broadie in Sonic Adventure 2, and by Maddie Blaustein in Shadow the Hedgehog.

In Sonic X, a different president is seen, taking the place of the president seen in the games during the animated adaptations of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. This president is gray-haired and stockier than the one seen in the games. After Perfect Chaos's attack on Station Square, he is seen signing papers with "Michael R."
