Who is The President from Night Probe! and what is their importance?

The President has been newly elected to office and is faced with numerous problems. These problems include oil shortages, dependence on Quebec for electric power, the possibility of Quebec establishing a Moscow-oriented government, and the necessity to introduce a new monetary system. The President authorizes expeditions to find the North American Treaty, and he has a plan for a United States of Canada, something he and Sarveux have been working for secretly since the beginning of their political careers. He presents the plan to the Canadian Parliament.
