12		Micheál Ó Leannáin (1918-1994)	Conservative Party	1962	1966 (Resigned)	Son of former President Einrí Ó Leannáin Sr. Initially popular due to his personal image and charisma, Ó Leannáin's reputation plummeted as his presidency quickly became overwhelmed with a number of damaging controversies and scandals, including his authorisation of the wiretapping and blackmailing of Liberal and Progressive politicians, his sabotage of the failed Indian Civil Rights Act, and allegations of an affair conducted with famous ... actress Babette Beaubois. In 1966 he resigned after impeachment processes had begun to be made against him.
13		Barend Moen-Haig (1909-1989)	Conservative Party	1966	1967	Barend Moen-Haig became President in the wake of Micheál Ó Leannáin's resignation, and was given the task of cleaning up the party's reputation in time for the 1967 elections. Moen-Haig controversially chose to rehabilitate President Micheál Ó Leannáin, preferring not to "rock the boat". Despite his unpopular image, his cautious strategy is believed to have allowed the Conservative Party to bounce back a decade later in the 1977 elections. Remained leader of the Conservative Party until 1975.
14		Prainsis Ó Leannáin (1926-1972)	Liberal Progressive Party	1967	1972	Brother of former President Micheál Ó Leannáin, Prainsis Ó Leannáin was elected President of Finntaire in 1967, becoming the first President of the Liberal Progressive Party, a merger of the Liberal and Progressive Parties. In his Presidency, Prainsis Ó Leannáin brought in controversially tough stances against organised crime and radicalism, while also expanding social security, enabling provincial representation reform, and implementing civil rights for indigenous Finntairans. President Ó Leannáin was re-elected in 1972 but was assassinated some months later at the hands of Ronald J. Ross in 1972, who was believed to have been working for the Ballysidney Mafia.
15		Lionel Cabot (1910-1998)	Liberal Progressive Party	1972	1977	A leader of the Progressive Party who was chosen to run alongside Prainsis Ó Leannáin as a candidate to represent the views of the Progressive wing of the party, Cabot became President of Finntaire after the assassination of his predecessor, serving out the remainder of his term. Cabot focused on increasing connections to the ... Community, and was known for his controversial progressive political views and his individualistic and abrasive attitude. He refused to run for re-election in the 1977 elections in which the Liberal Progressive Party was defeated.
16		Michael Northey (1918-1993)	Conservative Party	1977	1982	Michael Northey led the Conservative Party to their election victory in 1977 on a platform against the wasteful spending of the Liberal Progressive Party. Continued to grow Finntairan influence in the ... Community. Northey was chosen as a candidate partly due to how he was notably more liberal than some members of his party, which also led to arguments over some of the policies he enacted. Northey was defeated in the 1982 election.
'		Mághnus Ó Leannáin (1931-2009)	Progressive Party	1982	1987	Brother of former President Prainsis Ó Leannáin, Mághnus Ó Leannáin was leader of the Progressive Party since the division of the Liberal Progressive Party in 1979. Mághnus Ó Leannáin drew on many of the ideals of his brother Prainsis while implementing more social democratic policies, expanding Medicare, and raising the minimum wage. Mághnus faced a sluggish economy, growing inflation, and decreasing job rates at the end of his term, hurting his re-election chances and resulting in his defeat in 1986 to Oliver Rush of the Conservative Party
17		Oliver Rush (born 1940)	Conservative Party	1987	1992	...
