What's actually going on with the President in CLIFTCHAOS?
We are told that the events of CLIFTCHAOS start 2 weeks after the disappearance of James Dean, so after the events of DEANDEVIL, which means that Clift needs to be in office. We are told that the Incumbent President was attacked by a dog and got to a hospital, after which we are told that "she requested a full explanation be provided", seemingly implying a female president.
I've seen several theories on what this could mean. One that I've seen pop up a few times is that after Dean crashed into Melrose, Cthonaut A set back time to a pre-election period during which a female president was incumbent, but Clift won either way (one version I've seen actually claimed that this change counts as a timeline seperation and should thus count as a different universe from the Cliftverse).
There is also a possibility of her being Speaker Of The House, or whover would take office after the president and vice are both unable to. I've also seen ideas that this could be the same HER from the Nixonverse (which even then I'm not to sure who that's supposed to be), and that she is in no way the incumbent president. What's actually going on?
