Bryce Irwin (Frisian Empire)

Bryce Gayelord Irwin (born 2 May, 1957) is the 44th and incumbent President of the United States. He is the first member of a third party to become President since the United States' successful transition into becoming a multi-party state in 2002. Irwin has been a member of the Libertarian Party since 1989.

Before becoming President, Irwin was selected to serve on the Nebraska Superior Court in 1887. In 1890, Irwin was appointed Solicitor General of the United States and in 1891 a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In 2000, President Brody Plaskett appointed Irwin the title of Attorney General. In 2004, President Ferdie Osbourne appointed Irwin Secretary of the Treasury in an effort to put a second Libertarian politician in the Cabinet, to prove to skeptical Europe that the US had become a multi-party state. Irwin assumed a prominent role in problem solving, assuming on some occasions the role of acting Secretary of State, while declining repeated offers from Osbourne (who had grown rather fond of him) to serve on the Supreme Court.

Riding a wave of popular support for the Libertarian Party following recent campaigns and the new laws promoting third parties, together with the support of now-retired Republican Osbourne, Irwin won an easy victory in his 2009 bid for the presidency.

In his term, Irwin's domestic agenda has emphasized trust-busting, civil service reform, strengthening the local economies, improving the performance of the postal service, and supporting LGBTQ rights. Abroad, Irwin sought to further the economic development of nations in Latin America and Asia, and showed masterful decisiveness and restraint in response to the war in Tibet. The task-oriented Irwin is often considered oblivious to the political ramifications of his decisions, perhaps alienated his own key constituencies, and dropped out of his bid for a second term in the presidential election of 2012 due to public response. However, he is still considered to be amongst the most scholarly of US Presidents.
