It is an interesting and bizarre fact that every person to hold the office of the Presidency of the Galactic Confederation has, at some some time after leaving office, gone irredeemably insane. Critics point to this as proof that the stress of having that much power and responsibility is too much for any single person's psyche to withstand.
Government supporters, on the other hand, consider it to be evidence of one of the strengths of the Confederation system, namely that term limits have ensured that none of them have gone mad while still in office.
Thus far.
"With great power comes great madness" ?
"Power corrupts, but absolute power plays merry heck with your head" ?
"You don't have to be crazy to work here... just give it a while" ?
