Many were shocked when Jeffrey proclaimed himself president of the universe.
That’s not possible, they said.
What due process has occurred?
But the president of the universe stood firm. That’s just the way it is.

Governments from around the globe held conferences on how to tackle this threat to their authority. The President of the USA believed he should challenge this man for the title. He wanted to declare war. The UN, being historically opposed to war, urged against this. Let’s see what kind of leader Jeff will be.

As president of the universe, Jeff was pretty chill. At times, one could say it didn’t appear like he was doing anything at all. Many asked questions; about his jurisdiction, about stars and planets beyond. Jeff answered their questions and they were satisfied.
The President of the USA launched an investigation into the president of the universe. A search for assets found the man had no money to speak of, and this made the President of the USA feel very big. He had a lot more money than the president of the universe, and this gave him the confidence to go on the attack. A smear campaign.

The president of the USA questioned Jeff’s record of rule. His handling of the economy and what he was doing to fix the planet and, more importantly, America. If Jeff felt threatened, he didn’t show it, and soon enough the people, who the president of the USA claimed he was in charge of, began to question their leader’s own handling of the economy and what he was doing to fix the planet. This did not bode well for his re-election, and the citizens debated whether they should ask the president of the universe if he wanted to also be president of the USA. Jeff politely declined this demotion, to the understanding of many.

The current President of the USA was understandably offended. This was the last straw. He declared war on the president of the universe, to the disagreement of many.
We can’t attack the president of the universe, what if he retaliates?
But the president was full of anger and troops were mobilised.

The fire started innocently enough. An ember from the kitchen made its way through several hallways and down a flight of stairs until it settled nicely within the drapes of the Oval Office. The president had never seen a fire engulf a room so quickly. He was safely evacuated onto the lawn. As the president tweeted away on his phone blaming the attack on the president of the universe, he was hit by an asteroid and unfortunately could not be revived.

The people suspected this was no ordinary asteroid attack. They asked the president of the universe if he was responsible for this freak natural occurrence. He said no.

And so it went, the president of the universe visiting many countries, answering many questions to crowds of people, often saying, that’s just the way it is, with few ably disagreeing with him.

After many years the president of the universe announced in a shopping mall in New Zealand that he was no longer the president of the universe.

Having been so used to having a president of the universe, the governments around the world got together to ask Jeff who his successor would be. Jeff said it was some creature on another planet. The humans were a little upset that they no longer had the honour of hosting the president of the universe, but as they’d come to learn, sometimes that’s just the way it is.
