In addition to being president, he was on a first name basis with Admiral Harriman Nelson (Richard Basehart) and the two of them regularly played poker.

Presidents Harris Moffatt I, II and III

A three-generation dynasty of Presidents in Vilcabamba by Harry Turtledove.
Harris Moffatt I tried to oppose the invasion of Earth by the alien Krolp, as part of which he effected a unity with Canada and became also its Prime Minister. With the Krolp proving overwhelmingly strong, Moffatt I had to flee Washington, D.C. and remained President and Prime Minister of a rump U.S. and Canada centered on the Rocky Mountains and the Wasatch Range with the capital at Grand Junction, Colorado.
His son, Harris Moffatt II, negotiated a peace treaty with North American Krolp Governor Flargar that allowed the rump U.S./Canada to exist for the next fifty years. He was killed by a drunken renegade Krolp.
The grandson, Harris Moffatt III, was faced with a demand of the Krolp to conduct strip mining for silver and a small amount of gold in northeastern Utah, which would most likely render the rump U.S. and Canada uninhabitable. He embarked on a foredoomed rebellion which the Krolp crushed with in three days, dissolving the rump U.S. and embarking on their strip mining anyway. Harris Moffatt III and his wife are then exiled to the Krolp's North American capital of St. Louis, Missouri.
