Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur is the current Chief of Staff of the United States Army, and an unofficial ballot for the Republican Party nomination for the 1932 Presidential election. MacArthur, although unexpected to win, tossed his hat into the ring as a last resort candidate if the other candidates, including the incumbent President Herbert Hoover and the members of the opposing three (Blaine, France and Wadsworth), were seen as too unappealing for the party voters.

MacArthur has held strong prominence as of late, rising to prominence in his involvement in the Mexican Revolution. Since then, MacArthur became a strong symbol of American militarism and might, serving in the US Military Academy at West Point before later becoming President of the American Olympic Committee during the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. He finally became Chief of Staff of the United States Army in 1930.

Now with some prominence to his name, MacArthur has held subtle ideas of one day becoming President, whether that be through his unofficial candidacy in the 1932 Presidential election, or at a later stage; or to take power potentially through a coup if the United States needs him the most.
