Editing Susanna Pierre (section)

==Presidency==

Pierre was the first non-founder to become President, instead being the daughter of Marilène Pierre. Pierre did not agree with the explicit military posturing of her predecessor, and instead focused on building the intelligence service, ensuring compliance among citizens at home, and focusing on gathering information on foreign nations rather than threatening them.

In the 1970s there was a spate of disappearances across the country of orphans between the ages of 1 and 3. These were later ascribed to the secret foundation of the [[Aurora Programme]]. The disappearances were seen as the final nail in the coffin for Kerlian democracy, and further reinforced the idea that the Council was supreme.

In 1983, Councillor [[Joanne Robinson]], who had only recently succeeded her mother to the Council in 1981, attempted to use an obscure measure in the 1960 constitution to ‘recall’ President Pierre back to the Council to answer for the negative image of Kerlile held across other nations. The Council voted on the measure, however the [[Kerlian Coup Attempt, 1983|‘coup attempt’]] as it was deemed by Kerlian media failed by an unknown amount. The following morning, Councillor Robinson was found dead on the floor of the Council chamber. 

Speculation at the time suggested the Robinson family was to be ostracised from the Council for this action, however this was not the case, and Joanne was succeeded by her daughter Sarah, who was pregnant at the time, after two months. No further challenges to Susanna Pierre’s presidency were issued.
