2073 Prime Minister special selection

Forsyth was selected by President Weber under emergency powers for special selection. Weber claimed he needed a Prime Minister strong enough to clean up corruption led by President Papillion and selected Forsyth for his knowledge on the Icarisian justice system and seemingly straight and narrow career and personality. Forsyth's time at the Ministry of Judicial Oversight earned him a reputation as a strict rule follower and being very particular about structure, discipline and ethical decision making. This was very in line with Weber's approach to the Presidency.
