Presidential Election of 2053

Clyde Schneider was one of the many candidates for president in 2053. During the competition for the Traditionalist Party nomination he polled very highly and was considered one of the front runners. Polls showed later he was one of the most trustworthy politicians in the country. He eventually dropped out of the race and endorsed candidate and his friend Eli Dupont who later won the presidency.

Special selection 2053

After dropping out of the race for president, Schneider campaigned heavily for his friend Eli Dupont. Being a well liked politician among both political parties, many believed Dupont would not have won if he hadn't campaigned for him. Many members of Dupont's campaign turned administration planning team have claimed Dupont's selection of Clyde Schneider as Prime Minister was his top priority the day after the election. Schneider wasn't sworn in right on September 1, because his replacement as Minister Defense had to be given the vote of consent by the State Ministry before he could vacate the office.
