Hiram Roth

Hiram Roth was a Human politician of the mid-23rd century, who later was elected to the role of Federation President.

He was the Federation President during the "Genesis Incident", when Doctor Carol Marcus's probe created the Genesis planet. He was also in office during the attack of the Probe that came to look for Humpback whales, that damaged key facilities on Earth. He was also in term for the subsequent rebuilding of the damage. (movie: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

In 2288, he was elected for another term, only to die on the day the results were in. He'd won by a land slide.

A special election was held, electing Ra-ghoratreii to the presidency shortly into 2289. (novel: Star Trek: Articles of the Federation)
