The 42nd president of the United States served from 1997 to 2005.
POTUS 42 was elected in the 1996 presidential election, succeeding President Stevenson. POTUS 42 won re-election in the 2000 presidential election.
As 9/11 did happen in the Veep universe, POTUS 42 would have been president when it happened. The subsequent Iraq War also would have occurred under 42's watch.
It is possible that 42 faced impeachment in his first term. In the episode D.C., Selina Meyer remarks, "I hate impeachments. They're so 90's." If this comment is meant as an allusion to Bill Clinton's impeachment in 1998, this would happen during POTUS 42's first term in the Veep universe.
The 42nd president is married. He and his wife attended the opening of the Stuart Hughes Presidential Library and Museum in January 2018.
