For help on adding theories, see the help section.

Theory	Citations	Notes
The President is Barack Obama.	Obama is the President-elect in real-life.	- The President is seen in office in April 2007. + The timeline is purposefully made unclear, and it could be a vague "present" era. - The episode aired while George W. Bush is still the real world U.S. President. - Aside from skin color, the President shares very few facial similarities with Obama. - It seems more likely that the President was intended to be a nod to Barack Obama, but not actually be him. - I believe his first appearance was filmed before the election, thus there was no way of knowing that he would be the president. + They could have filmed two versions, one with a white and one with a black president. - Greg Beeman states in his blog that Tim Kring really wanted to cast an African-American in the role, which implies that this version with Michael Dorn was the only one that was ever filmed.
The President is an evolved human.	None.	+ He is not noticeably surprised by Nathan's revelations. - He may just be aware, in his high-clearance position, of things the modern public is not aware of. - This would make for a tired, cliched, and somewhat predictable plot twist.
