The President is a pistol available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked upon completion of the Master Pistols directive.

The President is an 'auraxium' variant of the Icon TR TX1 Repeater, sharing most of the same base stats and decorated with a special 'auraxium' camo. Compared to the base weapon, The President features an automatic firing mode, similar to the Icon TR T4 AMP. Unlike the T4, The President is not a true fully-automatic weapon.

The President functions as a Icon TRTX1 Repeater that has had its burst capabilities enhanced to continue firing 3-round bursts as long as the trigger is held, with such minimal refire delay that it does not reduce the overall rate of fire below the burst rate of fire. Tapping the trigger to fire one shot will result in 3 bullets fired. Holding the trigger for five shots will fire six. Releasing the trigger on an eighth shot will result in 9 shots - so on and so forth. This can lead to inefficient use of ammunition since there is no way to stop a burst of 3 rounds once initiated.

The President also has access to attachments that the Icon TR TX1 Repeater does not. It can equip an extended magazine that doubles its capacity. When equipped, The President has the highest magazine capacity that any sidearm in the game can boast. A compensator to help control its substantial muzzle climb is available as well.

In exchange for these capabilities, the President's default magazine size is reduced by 3 rounds.
