George H. W. Bush (1983: Doomsday)

George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12, 1924) was the 41st and last President of the United States (1986-1995). He was also Ronald Reagan's Vice President (1981–1986), a congressman, an ambassador, and Director of Central Intelligence.

Pre-Doomsday
Bush was born in Massachusetts to Senator and New York Banker Prescott Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush. Following the attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941, at the age of 18, Bush postponed going to college and became the youngest naval aviator in the US Navy at the time. He served until the end of the war, then attended Yale University. Graduating in 1948, he moved his family to West Texas and entered the oil business, becoming a millionaire by the age of 40.

He became involved in politics soon after founding his own oil company, serving as a member of the House of Representatives, among other positions. He ran unsuccessfully for president of the United States in 1980, but was chosen by party nominee Ronald Reagan to be the vice presidential nominee; the two were subsequently elected.

1983: Doomsday
With some warning of the imminent Soviet nuclear attack, the Secret service was able to relocate Bush and his wife Barbara to the Greenbrier Hotel facility. The facility, however, only had limited resources and after conferring with the President at, they both agreed to evacuate the country. After making stops in, and New Zealand, Bush arrived in Brisbane, Australia. After being greeted by Prime Minister Hawke, he was informed that all contact had been lost with President Reagan. Bush was shaken by the news and requested that they wait a few days, but on May 8, 1986, Bush was sworn in as President of the United States of America by Sir Harry Gibbs, Chief Justice of High Court of Australia.
