~ Selina Meyer's most famous quote.

Selina Meyer is the main protagonist in the HBO series Veep. She also served as vice president of the United States and a U.S. Senator from Maryland. She later served as the 45th and 47th president of the United States. She was the first woman to serve as president and vice president, as well as the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms (after Grover Cleveland).

She was played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus in her first villainous role, who also played Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Biography[]

Meyer's political career began in the early 1990s. After running unsuccessfully for Maryland State Senate, Meyer was eventually elected to Congress in 1998 and later served as a U.S. Senator for two terms. She campaigned for president unsuccessfully in 2008 and later again in the 2012 presidential election, where she gained attention as a rising star within the party. She ultimately came in third in the primaries, losing to Stuart Hughes. She was asked by Hughes to serve as his running mate, and the Hughes-Meyer ticket would go on to win the election, with Meyer being sworn-in as vice president on January 20, 2013. During her tenure as vice president, Meyer worked diligently on the Clean Jobs Bill, held budget talks that ultimately led to the 2015 government shutdown, and was involved in the freeing of the hostages during the Uzbek hostage crisis, which was later embroiled in scandal when it was revealed one of the hostages was a U.S. spy. When Hughes announced he would not seek re-election, she subsequently campaigned in the 2016 presidential election. After three years of serving as his vice president, she ascended to the presidency after his resignation on January 24, 2016.

Meyer served as president for the remaining year of Hughes' term while simultaneously campaigning in the 2016 presidential election. During this brief tenure, Meyer made a historic trip to Iran to free a detained American reporter; the first time a president had visited Iran since Jimmy Carter in 1977. Meyer was also heavily involved in the drafting of the controversial and unsuccessful Families First Bill. In October 2016, an investigation in the House of Representatives was launched after allegations surfaced that Meyer's campaign purposely got the bill to fail due to it's unpopularity. Her administration was also caught in the middle of the Medileaks scandal, in which her administration was accused of hacking the medical and social security records of a child. After securing the party nomination in the 2016 presidential primaries, Meyer and her running mate Connecticut Senator Tom James faced off against Arizona Senator Bill O'Brien in the general election. However, after the Electoral College gridlocked and the House of Representatives failed to choose a president, Meyer ultimately lost the presidency to Laura Montez.

Meyer left office in January 2017. After leaving office, Meyer briefly ran the Meyer Fund, which found itself under intense scrutiny from the FBI years later for allegations of financial misappropriation. Meyer again ran for president in the 2020 presidential primaries, her fourth consecutive presidential campaign. After a close primary fight against New York Senator Kemi Talbot, Meyer accepted the party nomination at the brokered 2020 National Convention, selecting former New Hampshire Congressman Jonah Ryanas her running mate. The Meyer-Ryan ticket defeated Laura Montez in the general election. Meyer's election in 2020 was partially responsible through interference from the Chinese government.

Meyer would go on to serve a full term as president from 2021 to 2025. During her second term as president, she controversially repealed same-sex marriage. Meyer would've been eligible to seek re-election in the 2024 presidential election, but for whatever reason she was not elected to another term; whether she ran again and lost or chose not to seek re-election is unknown. She lost the re-election. After spending 20 years out of office, Meyer died in 2045. Despite being hailed as the first female president and vice president, Meyer is considered to be one of the most ineffective presidents in American history and her presidency is usually ranked among the worst. Her death was overshadowed when Tom Hanks death was interrupted her memorial and this is Karma for all the worst deeds that she did as President.

Villainous Acts[]

Election fraud and voter suppression[]

During the 2020 presidential election, Meyer colluded with the Chinese government to secure her status as party nominee. This first happened during the South Carolina primary, which heavily favored Meyer's opponent, Kemi Talbot. Talbot's supporters, through various methods, were prevented from going to the polls. The Chinese also helped Meyer win the general election against Laura Montez. Meyer most likely would not have won either election without the help of the Chinese interference.

War crimes[]

In 2016, during Meyer's first term as president, States drone strike ordered by Meyer targeted a wedding near the Pakistani border. The target of the operation was Hamza Al Bashir, a prominent member of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, who was at the wedding. The drone strike decimated a tent at the wedding, killing Al Bashir and numerous civilians. The drone strike violated Pakistani sovereignty laws.

In 2020, the International Criminal Court placed a warrant for Meyer's arrest for war crimes. Meyer sought asylum in the Finnish embassy in Oslo. Meyer's actions received widespread condemnation from the public once it was discovered that Al Bashir owned a private zoo and many animals were killed during the strike.

Child abuse[]

Meyer has subjected her daughter Catherine to various forms of child abuse. The degree of abuse intensifies as the series progresses. Upon Meyer's death in 2045, Catherine celebrated with her wife and son.

Animal cruelty[]

In 2019, Meyer fed chocolate to the dog mayor of Lurlene, Iowa. The dog passed away as a result of this.

Repealing of gay marriage[]

In her second term as president, Meyer repealed gay marriage as part of a promise she made to Nevada governor Buddy Calhoun in order to secure her party's nomination at the 2020 National Convention. Her promise to Calhoun permanently alienated her from her lesbian daughter.
