Excerpt from the in-universe Wikipedia page of "public image of Edith Vaughn":

Edith Vaughn is the 47th as well as the first Predator-Carnivore and second female President of the United States. A former Hollywood actress and television personality turned politician, she previously served as the 40th Governor of California. Before and during her presidency, Vaughn's public image has been mixed. Famous for playing femme fatales in action, sci-fi, and horror movies, Vaughn's supporters praised her as a political outsider fighting for the poor and middle-class, while her critics decried Vaughn for her perceived lack of experience.

A subject of controversy during Vaughn's campaign for governor, and later for president, is the fact that Vaughn began her career in Hollywood by playing a prostitute in a low-budget horror comedy film. Vaughn also did nude and sex scenes, including lesbian scenes with other actresses, in multiple films. Vaughn has vehemently defended her early career and denounced her critics as sexist. However, this increased her name recognition, and by the time of the 2024 presidential election, Vaughn was more popular than her Democratic primary opponents and the incumbent Republican president and vice president.

Vaughn's unconventional use of English phrases, pronunciations, malapropisms, as well as occasional Freudian slips and gaffes when speaking without script cemented her public image as a clumsy president; this is her usual portrayal in Saturday Night On Air. Among her most parodied moments are when she used "Electrical" instead of "Electoral" when referring to the Electoral College and votes, pronounced Texas as "Taxes", confused Austria with Australia, tripped over on the stair when entering and exiting Air Force One, and fainted after vomiting in front of the South Korean president after she ate bibimbap. In response, Vaughn says her unscripted remarks and speeches are better than "the guy before me and the girl before the guy before me".

Notable for her curvaceous and buxom figure, Vaughn has been described as "America's sexiest president", "the world's hottest politician", and a "sex symbol of the political world". Google Searches for "whore", "slut", and "bitch" all show pictures of Vaughn as top search results. Even though Vaughn had breast reduction surgery before entering politics, her chest size became the focus of numerous jokes. She is frequently portrayed, parodied, and lampooned in various forms of pop culture. Conservatives often mocked Vaughn as an airheaded and goofy president with oversized breasts and butts. The derogatory term "Whore House" is used to refer to Vaughn's White House. Despite her hate for these depictions, Vaughn repeatedly says she "can't do anything about them", since according to her, these depictions are a practice of free speech protected by the First Amendment.

Meredith Evelyn "Edith" Vaughn (born January 10, 1972) is an American politician who is the 47th and current president of the United States. She is the first Predator-Carnivore and second female president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, Vaughn previously served as the 40th governor of California from 2017 to 2025. Before entering politics, she was a Hollywood actress, television personality, and philanthropist.

A daughter of Irish immigrants, Vaughn was born in Manchester, New Hampshire, and raised in Houston, Texas. She established residency in Los Angeles, California, after graduating from UT Austin in 1994 to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

She began in 1995 by appearing in independent films. She landed her first role in a blockbuster film in 1998. Vaughn starred in several Oscar-winning and box-office hits. Once among Hollywood's highest paid actresses, Vaughn won two Academy Awards, one Golden Globe Award, and one Emmy Award, gaining her worldwide fame. She was also the host of her own talk and reality shows. She appeared in a total of 42 movies and 5 TV series. Using her immense wealth, Vaughn founded a charitable organization dedicated to providing financial assistance for Carnivore-owned small businesses.

A lifelong Democrat, Vaughn's involvement in national politics started in 2008 when she endorsed and campaigned for then-Senator Barry Ohana, followed by other candidates. Vaughn delivered the opening remarks at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, consolidating her status as an emerging figure in the Democratic Party. Vaughn described herself as a centrist moderate New Democrat. She built a network of supporters nearing the end of her 20 years of career in Hollywood. Vaughn's final film role was in 2015, before she launched her successful campaign for California governor in 2016. Vaughn was also an advisor on Predator Affairs for then-vice president Doe Wyden's 2016 presidential campaign.

Vaughn was the first Predator-Carnivore and first female governor of California. She was the third Hollywood actor to be California governor. As governor, Vaughn cut taxes and reduced the state government's spending on welfare programs. Re-elected in 2020, her response to the Coronavirus pandemic garnered bipartisan praise. During the 2020 predator riots, Vaughn maintained funding for California's law enforcement agencies and sent in National Guard troops to restore order. This drew criticism from progressives and led to a recall election in 2021, in which Vaughn survived. Vaughn later implemented mandatory anti-species-bias training for police officers and made California the first state to outlaw the use of aggression-inhibitor collars. In 2022, Vaughn ran for the U.S. Senate seat held by retiring Dianna Feingold; she lost to Oakland mayor Ingrid Lambert in the Democratic primary.

Vaughn launched her campaign for president on March 1, 2023. She won the Democratic nomination on August 5, 2024, after a close primary campaign against former vice president Jamal Harrison and nine other candidates. In the 2024 presidential election, Vaughn and her running mate, U.S. Senator from Massachusetts Ken Hopper, narrowly defeated incumbent president Donald Trumbull and vice president Mike Pounce. Vaughn's centrist political positions, name recognition, and money, added with an economy in a recession caused by the Coronavirus pandemic secured her win.

She left the office of California governor on January 7, 2025, following the expiration of her two terms. Vaughn was sworn in as president of the United States on January 20, 2025. Vaughn is also the first president to be born in the Generation X era. As Vaughn is married to first gentlemammal Judson Sawyer, a fox, and has four hybrid children, she is the first president to have an interspecies first family.

Vaughn signed into law the Jobs Creation and Taxpayer Relief Act, the Green Infrastructure Investment Act, and the Make in America Act in her first two years as president. She proposed, lobbied for, and signed into law the Bipartisan Safer Communities Through Species Equity Act. Vaughn issued executive orders protecting LGBTQIA+ rights and reproductive health. She appointed Isaac Wolfowitz as the first Predator-Carnivore and first openly gay supreme court justice. Amid rising gun violence, Vaughn indicates support for a federal ban on assault weapons. She presided over the Artemis III Moon landing and the U.S. Semiquincentennial celebration in 2026. Vaughn negotiated with congressional Republicans in passing her agendas of voting rights reform and tightening gun regulations. She signed into law the People's Health Care Act and the Medicare Revitalization Act, further expanding Social Security.

In foreign policy, Vaughn designated more major non-NATO allies to counter China, escalating the Second Cold War. She drafted the Fort Sumter Accords that settled territorial disputes between Russia and Ukraine. After gathering evidence that the Houthis possess biological weapons, Vaughn ordered an invasion of Yemen, which intensified the Arabian Peninsula War. She authorized the bombing of Afghanistan to topple the Taliban regime. She increased U.S. military intervention in the Burmese civil war to aid pro-democracy forces. Vaughn formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. She unveiled the Solomon Peace Plan, a proposal for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A first for an incumbent American president, Vaughn met with Iranian supreme leader Amzad Sharif twice to discuss denuclearization, though no significant progress has been made.

Vaughn launched her re-election campaign on May 3, 2027. Under her presidency, the United States' economy recovered from the 2020 - 2025 COVID-19 pandemic, preventing another Great Recession. Defying initial expectations, scholars and the general public typically rank Vaughn as an above-average president. Vaughn is credited for her economic, social, and domestic policies, but criticized for her hawkish and interventionist foreign policy. As the first-ever Predator-Carnivore president of the United States and the highest ranking Predator-Carnivore official in U.S. history, Vaughn is widely regarded as an icon of the Predator rights movement. In her capacity as president, Vaughn is often considered as one of the world's most powerful and influential females.
