	Brown announced that he would be running for president in 2014 and subsequently won the 2016 election by a thin but sufficient margin. During the first two years of his presidency, Brown presided over a rebounding economy and proudly signed a number of tax relief bills into law, a cause he had fought extensively for during his time in the Maximusian Senate. In 2018, Brown championed military intervention in [[Lauchenoiria]] during the nation's [[Second Lauchenoirian Civil War\|Civil War]]. Following the Maximusian declaration of war against and deployment of troops in Lauchenoiria in July of 2018, Maximusian forces were met with stiff resistance at [[Carville]] and [[Annatown]], leading to a drop in domestic approval of the Brown administration. Following the brutal Maximusian [[Second Battle of Carville\|assault on Carville]], which resulted in Libertas Omnium Maximus being found guilty of war crimes during the 2019 [[Truth and Reconciliation Commission]], Brown issued a formal apology to the city's residents on behalf of the Maximusian government.

	Brown was reelected in [[2020 Maximusian Presidential Election\|2020]], though the Conservatives lost their coalition majority in the Senate, necessitating a new big-tent legislative coalition in which tremendous political power was ceded to the [[Progressive Citizens' Party (Maximusian)\|Progressives]]. Just hours after he was sworn in for a second term, [[Malvarian Liberation Front\|Vulkarian terrorists]] [[1/2/20 Terror Attacks\|attacked a concert]] in [[Lumeniola]] and assaulted the Maximusian embassy in [[Zamastan]] (along with a number of other sites across eight nations), necessitating a [[2020 War in Vulkaria\|military response]]. Initially a champion of counterinsurgency in Vulkaria, Brown's stance on the conflict gradually soured, as did public support for the war in Libertas Omnium Maximus. Of the eleven nations involved in the military response, the Maximusian Republic was among the first to withdraw troops from Vulkaria in the late winter of 2020. After troops returned home, Brown publicly pivoted the nation's foreign policy away from direct intervention, while also expressing a disinclination toward tariffs as a means of economic protectionism. Domestically, Brown continued to push for deregulation in his second term, but was hampered by an increasingly hostile legislature.

Domestically, Brown continued to push for deregulation in his second term, but was hampered by an increasingly hostile legislature. Late in his second term, Brown's non-interventionist stance was put to the test when a multipartisan effort within the [[Senate of Libertas Omnium Maximus#General Assembly\|General Assembly]] to increase trade duties on imports from Xiomera following the [[Golden Blade Insurgency]] nearly succeeded, but was blocked by a handful of Conservative loyalists in October of 2023.<ref>Bizarre Senate alliance forms in support of economic sanctions against Xiomera, ''The Litudinem Herald'', https://media.idugov.com/2023/10/15/bizarre-senate-alliance-forms-in-support-of-economic-sanctions-against-xiomera/ (October 15, 2023)</ref> By 2024, polling generally indicated that the majority of Maximusians favored joining the [[Haesan\|Haesanites]] and other nations in opposing Xiomeran aggressive expansion via sweeping economic sanctions.

			Over the course of his eight year presidency, Brown advanced a big-tent conservative platform emphasizing deregulation and limited government. He was, and remains, a vocal proponent of nuclear power as an effective source of sustainable energy, and spearheaded the national effort to privatize and proliferate nuclear power plants across the nation. Under Brown's leadership, the national trade deficit did retract, though federal spending increased. Initially hawkish, by his second term, Brown's interventionist stance cooled, but he still signed a number of significant military spending bills during his final years in office. His prioritization of the economy led to the defunding of some welfare programs, but an uncooperative legislature generally stymied these efforts. As is custom, Brown did not run for a third term, instead throwing his support behind—and campaigning for—Conservative-candidate [[Richard Newman]], who was unable to prevail against [[Collin Lestrange]] in the [[2024 Maximusian Presidential Election]].

			Brown has generally been hesitant to weigh in on pressing social issues. He did not vote in favor of legalization of gay marriage while serving in the Senate, but now states that he supports marriage equality for all Maximusians. Brown is "pro-life," but acknowledges the necessity of caveats for the most harrowing of cases. He has been classified as a "hardliner" on narcotics restrictions, advocating for harsh punitive sentences for illegal drug suppliers and distributors, but leniency towards mere users.

	Brown is ~~a controversial figure~~ in ~~international relations~~, ~~generally taking~~ a highly ~~nationalist~~ stance on foreign policy ~~issues. At~~ times~~, Brown has supported~~ tariffs~~, particularly~~ on imports from socialist and ~~communist~~ nations ~~and~~ to protect nascent ~~industries, but rejects~~ the long-term viability of trade wars. Brown has ~~stated~~ his ~~personal~~ support for intervention abroad, ~~noting~~ that "[The Maximusian Republic] reserves the right to intervene for any reason, anywhere, anytime her interests are threatened" ~~in a 2020 interview~~. However, Brown did ~~vow that~~, ~~even if the criteria for intervention was met, he would~~ not contribute troops unless overwhelming public support for the war existed.		Brown's stance on foreign relations and interventionism has often been described as "fluctuating," and is difficult to pin down. Although, particularly early in his career, Brown took a highly nationalistic stance on foreign policy issues—at times supporting steep tariffs on imports from socialist, communist, and rival nations to protect nascent industries—he has generally rejected the long-term viability of trade wars. In recent years, Brown has found himself in the minority, even among fellow Conservatives, in opposing tariffs on [[Xiomera]], given their recent belligerence towards neighboring nations.

			Brown summarized his ardent support for military intervention abroad in a 2020 interview, declaring that, "[The Maximusian Republic] reserves the right to intervene for any reason, anywhere, anytime [her] interests are threatened." Many pundits have suggested that Brown's hawkish attitude represents the most pro-interventionist stance of any Maximusian president since the early [[Jean Paterson\|Paterson administration]]. However, Brown did later caveat his cavalier assertion, vowing to not contribute troops to a foreign conflict unless overwhelming public support for the war existed. Over the course of his eight year presidency, Brown authorized military operations in two foreign states, [[Lauchenoiria]] (2018) and [[Vulkaria]] (2020), both times alongside international coalitions comprised of allies.

Though some of his views have shifted over his nearly three decade political career, his ideology can reasonably be classified as center-right to right leaning. Over his nearly three decade political career, Brown's stances have shifted, particularly on matters of religion and interventionism.

	=== Economy, ~~Trade~~, and Welfare ===		=== Economy, Regulation, and Welfare ===
			When Brown began his career as a legislator in Passarelle, he gained a reputation as a hardline proponent of fiscal austerity and budget cuts, but has relaxed his stance on these issues in recent years. Despite promises early on in the 2016 presidential campaign trail that he would never approve of a federal budget running a significant deficit, Brown has approved numerous omnibus spending bills since assuming the presidency, several of which relied on deficit spending. He remains a staunch proponent of tax cuts, but has actually rolled back certain corporate welfare subsidies enacted by his Conservative predecessors in the late 1990s. Citing the nation's shaky history with currency devaluation in the 1970s following massive inflation, Brown generally opposes further expansion to the Maximusian welfare state. In 2019, Brown supported legislation to expand healthcare opportunities for discharged Maximusian servicemen, calling post-traumatic stress disorder a "national health threat."

	=== Foreign Policy ===		=== Foreign Policy and Trade ===
			Brown is a controversial figure in international relations, generally taking a highly nationalist stance on foreign policy issues. At times, Brown has supported tariffs, particularly on imports from socialist and communist nations and to protect nascent industries, but rejects the long-term viability of trade wars. Brown has stated his personal support for intervention abroad, noting that "[The Maximusian Republic] reserves the right to intervene for any reason, anywhere, anytime her interests are threatened" in a 2020 interview. However, Brown did vow that, even if the criteria for intervention was met, he would not contribute troops unless overwhelming public support for the war existed.

Brown announced that he would be running for president in 2014 and subsequently won the 2016 election by a thin but sufficient margin. During the first two years of his presidency, Brown presided over a rebounding economy and proudly signed a number of tax relief bills into law, a cause he had fought extensively for during his time in the Maximusian Senate. In 2018, Brown championed military intervention in [[Lauchenoiria]] during the nation's [[Second Lauchenoirian Civil War\|Civil War]]. Following the Maximusian declaration of war against and deployment of troops in Lauchenoiria in July of 2018, Maximusian forces were met with stiff resistance at [[Carville]] and [[Annatown]], leading to a drop in domestic approval of the Brown administration. Following the brutal Maximusian [[Second Battle of Carville\|assault on Carville]], which resulted in Libertas Omnium Maximus being found guilty of war crimes during the 2019 [[Truth and Reconciliation Commission]], Brown issued a formal apology to the city's residents on behalf of the Maximusian government.

			He was reelected in [[2020 Maximusian Presidential Election\|2020]].
