The New President of the United States

President Javier Hernandez is the President in the Duncan Hunter books.  He rose through the Congressional ranks to become Speaker of the House.  If his election as Speaker took Washington DC by surprise, no one was more surprised when he woke up one morning to find out he would be sworn in as President.  He had been just a good old Spanish-speaking Texas boy in black alligator boots.  He won a congressional seat as a Republican.  The district had been safely in democratic hands for two generations.  He attended Yale Law School and joined the Young Republicans, giving liberals fits for being a Republican Hispanic.  A mark that he was an exceptional attorney with an exceptional mind, he clerked for a Supreme Court Justice and tried hundreds of cases as a city prosecutor in San Antonio. 

But his real passion was politics, conservative politics.  Before he ran for office, he was featured frequently on the local television station as a photogenic "legal" news personality.  Hernandez turned heads and became an overnight sensation as a no-nonsense guy who was pro-gun, pro-military, and was hard on criminals.  As a congressman for the 23rd District, he reversed decades of democratic malfeasance and political sabotage, and fought for more manpower, facilities and equipment for the U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Customs to do their job. 

Several re-elections later Hernandez became the first Latin-American Speaker of the House; less than a year later he was President of the United States of America.  He was POTUS with an agenda—-he would protect Americans wherever they were.  And he would send out the nation's best warriors to kill or neutralize terrorists before they could turn into the next Osama bin Laden. 

For President Hernandez, killing master terrorists was personal.  He lost his baby sister when someone shot down a TWA 747 off the coast of Long Island.  The democratic administration covered up the surface-to-air missile attack on the commercial jet and thus, provided the spark--more of a red star cluster--for him to go into politics.  On Inauguration Day, as President, he vowed he would make amends and take the fight to the terrorists wherever they lurked and hid.  He just had to assemble the right team.  He had an idea who could do the work, beginning with one of his constituents, Duncan Hunter. 

With Duncan Hunter, Nazy Cunningham, Greg Lynche, Bill McGee, and Hunter's YO-3A, President Javier Hernandez now had his team. 

Maverick out!
