Kingston Parker was an Zamastanian politician who served as the 7th President of Zamastan from 1846 to 1850. The first president born in the 19th century, Parker was known for his physical stature and height, and is the tallest president in Zamastanian history at 6 feet 6 inches. A strict constitutionalist and constructionist, Parker often vetoed Congressional Hall's bills to create a national bank and raise tariff rates. He faced a stalemate on domestic policy, although he had several foreign-policy achievements including a trade policy with the Heng Dynasty in Yuan. Parker believed that the president, rather than Congress, should set policy, and he sought to bypass the legislative establishment led by then-Senator David Goddard. Goddard eventually ran against and defeated Parker in 1850.
