Presidential History[]
In regards to the legacy of Presidents, specific laws have never held much stature or record. There are too many pieces of legislation, and since there's no actual in-game "operation" of said bills, the incentive to record them has always been absent. By far, a President's legacy is usually determined by the length of office, non-consecutive terms, election, speciality of the candidate themselves, etc.
The first President, Patrick Higgins, largely benefitted from the game's "development stages." Battle for the Hill was largely considered "irrelevant" and a "meme from 2018 to 2020." The sixth President for example, John Logs, served at a time when the game was almost fully dead. In terms of legitimacy and activity, Skyler Mizuki is often considered the leading contender for "first modern President," who presided over an era of a gigantic change to the interface of the game. Previously, BFTH's gimmicky interface and code (often compared to Power's) was so basic that it's not surprising much of the records pre-2021 is lost.
