Garrett Walker

Garrett Allan Walker (born July 18, 1962) is a politician who served as the 45th President of the United States. A former Governor of Colorado, Walker was publicly inaugurated as President on January 20, 2013. He went on to pass an education reform bill and attempted to pass a watershed bill that was voted down in the House. He is the supporter in the show, House of Cards

His first Vice President, Jim Matthews, eventually left office to run for another term as the Governor of Pennsylvania, feeling useless as the Vice President. This was a motion that was set into play by Frank Underwood after Walker had passed Underwood up as his Secretary of State.

Walker selected Underwood to take Matthews' place as his second Vice President. Underwood would go on to continue his schemes and with multiple conflicts with Walker and their mutual associate Raymond Tusk, Underwood managed to set in motion events that caused the country to call for Walker's impeachment.

Walker resigned to let the country begin to heal, rather than to face the possibility of conviction. President Walker resigned in 2014, allowing Underwood to become the 46th President of the United States and completing his year-long plan to seek vengeance on Walker and take his office. Walker and his family returned to their former lives as private citizens.
