Earl Warren (1891–1974) was the 14th Chief Justice of the United States and the only person ever elected thrice as Governor of California. Prior to holding these positions, Warren served as a California district attorney for Alameda County and Attorney General of California. In 1948 he was the Republican Party's nominee for the office of Vice President of the United States, but Warren and his running mate, Thomas Dewey, lost the election to Democats Harry Truman and Alben Barkley by a fairly narrow margin.

His tenure as Chief Justice saw the issuing of several critical rulings that shaped American law and society.

Warren also led a commission that investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, reaching the controversial conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

Earl Warren in WorldwarEdit

Earl Warren (1891-1965) served as President of the United States 1961-1965. His is a controversial legacy: in 1962 he secretly ordered a nuclear strike on the Race's Colonization Fleet. When the truth came out in 1965, Warren allowed the Race to destroy the city of Indianapolis rather than surrender America's space program, and then took his own life.

Warren was elected President in 1960 and would be reelected over Hubert Humphrey in 1964. He was in office when the Race's Colonization Fleet arrived at Earth in 1962. He ordered a secret attack using nuclear missiles fired from a satellite that destroyed a dozen of the Fleet's starships. Warren concealed his role in the affair for several years but the information was ultimately leaked to the Race in 1965 by Sam Yeager through Straha--this despite Warren's best efforts to silence Yeager through draconian extralegal measures. Atvar threatened war with the United States; having seen how quickly and easily the Race had defeated Germany in the prior months, Warren knew he must avoid a war at all costs. Atvar offered two other options: abandon all space exploration for the indefinite future, or allow the Race to destroy an American city. Warren knew he must choose one of the two lest his country be destroyed; and he would not give up the space program, a sign of his country's might and technological prowess, and so he surprised and disappointed Atvar by allowing him to destroy Indianapolis. Warren then committed suicide in the Gray House, and was succeeded by his Vice President, Harold Stassen.
