Jackson John Abbott is a Texan politician who currently serves as the 15th President of Texas. He previously served as the junior Senator for the State of Houston and is a member of the liberal conservative One Texas party.
Abbott was born in the City of Houston in 1960. After graduating from the University of Texas in 1980, he became a political strategist to future President, Thomas Washington. While working for Washington, he met his wife, Elizabeth Grover, whom he married in 1986. In 2003, Abbott entered politics and ran for the Texan Senate. He won a close race against incumbent Senator, Democrat Daniel Oregon. As a Senator, Abbott became known in the Senate for his Pro-American views and his ability to work with other Senators from different parties. In 2008, Abbott declared his candidacy for President, winning his party's nomination and narrowly defeating incumbent Jason Seymour and Texan Patriot Kevin Shelley.
Throughout his first term, Abbott signed landmark legislation. Some legislation included the Equal Marriage Act, which legalized Gay Marriage, the Anti-Tax Act, which limited the ability for states to set their tax rates, and the North American Unity Act, which increased Texan contribution in the North American Union. During his first term, he also increased Texan involvement in the War in the Middle East, sending an additional 5,000 troops to Texan bases in Syria and Iraq. Because of this, Abbott is mostly credited to the death of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin-Laden. In 2014, Abbott, along with King James I of Pacífica and the Pacífican Prime Minister Steven J. Kennedy, signed an agreement with Mexico, ending Mexican claims to the territory Pacífica and Texas gained after the Second World War.
In 2015, Abbott was re-elected with a majority of the vote, defeating Democrat Corey Zollinger and Patriot Robert Shumaker. During the early parts of his second term, Abbott began advocating for more restrictions on businesses contributing to climate change and lowering taxes for the middle class. He also began advocating for more unity in the North American Union, supporting the creation of a North American army and a more centralized North American government. In the wake of the 2018 Miami Shooting, he signed the Common Sense Safety Act, which placed restrictions on purchasing assault weapons and created a government registry for all firearms. The bill, however, was ruled unconstitutional by the Texan Supreme Court, as it was a violation of Article 6, Section I. Later in the same year, Texas cut ties with Mexico, along with Pacífica, after Mexico reclaimed the territory it lost in World War II.
As of 2019, Abbott's presidency has been rated mostly positive, with Abbott receiving a 59% approval rating in early 2019. Outside of Texas, Abbott is seen positively by Texas's allies, but seen very poorly in the Middle East, with most Middle Easterners blaming Abbott and the North American Union for most the devastation in the region.
