Abram Jacob Mullen (born May 10, 1958) is a Zamastanian politician who served as the 33rd President of Zamastan from 1996 until 2000. A member of the Liberal Party, he led efforts during his presidency to expand access to birth control for women, advocated for wider rights for same-sex couples, and began dismantling the death penalty in the justice system. He signed into law the Chanchajilla-Paraboca Trade Agreement (CPTA) and the Violent Crime Law Enforcement Act, but failed to pass his plan for national health care reform. His presidency, however, became marred with the beginning of the the renewed conflict in Vulkaria in 1999, which his predecessor Elijah Daniels had ended in 1991. The war was extremely unpopular, and the GLP dropped Mullen from the reelection ticket in 2000 due to preference to Camren Ellison, who promised to end the war. Historians relate the incident of GLP-candidate swapping to the previous Vulkaria War precedent set by Josiah Elliott being dropped in favor of David Macentire. Mullen stepped down upon Ellison's 2000 election victory, but the war continued.
Prior to his presidency, he served as a congressman in Congressional Hall for Jade province from 1988 to 1996, serving on the National Security Committee and the National Energy Committee. Mullen left office with the lowest end-of-term approval rating of any Zamastanian president since Hawk Gardner. Additionally, his personal conduct and allegations of sexual assault against him have made him the subject of substantial scrutiny. Since leaving office, Mullen has been involved in public speaking and humanitarian work. He created the Mullen Foundation to address international causes such as the prevention of HIV/AIDS and global warming. He has remained active in Liberal Party politics, campaigning in his wife, Lynne Mullen's, 2008 presidential campaign.
