He was a vocal proponent of streamlining the Alliance's bureaucracy by expanding the powers of the office of Alliance President, but his proposal was ultimately rejected by the [[Alliance Assembly]] in favor of the creation of a presidential diplomatic corps.

He was a vocal proponent of streamlining the Alliance's bureaucracy by expanding the powers of the office of Alliance President, but his proposal was ultimately rejected by the [[Alliance Assembly]] in favor of the creation of a presidential diplomatic corps.

Kincaid's second term became turbulent as he began promoting militarism and acting beyond the purview of his office, and this aggression took a toll on his reputation. In May 3305, Councillor Beck accused Kincaid of campaign finance violations, and the Assembly approved a formal inquiry into the allegations. Further complicating matters, [[Council of Admirals]] member [[Frederick Yamamoto]] granted command of the Zaonce [[Alliance Defence Force]] fleet to Kincaid, giving an Alliance President the unprecedented power to issue orders to an ADF fleet directly. [[Alliance Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] called on Kincaid to resign, but Kincaid rejected Mahon's demand.

A major blow was dealt to Kincaid on June 1, 3305, when his ally Admiral Yamamoto was arrested for bankrolling the murder of Fazia Silva, which authorities believed was carried out to aid Kincaid's reelection campaign. The Council of Admirals assumed joint command of the Zaonce ADF fleet in Yamamoto's absence. On June 7, it came to light that Kincaid was behind a conspiracy involving Yamamoto and other influential individuals which sought to move the Alliance's capital to Zaonce and then establish Kincaid as the Alliance's supreme ruler. Kincaid was removed from office by the Alliance Assembly and arrested by [[Alliance Interpol]] on June 13 on charges of treason, murder, and corruption.

21 JUN 3305

*The [[Alliance Assembly]] has permanently dissolved the role of [[President of the Alliance]], following the recent revelations about Gibson Kincaid's multiple crimes. Summarising the vote, [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] said: "Recent events have made it clear that the presidential position is open to misuse, which places the integrity of the [[Alliance]] at risk. Following a thorough debate on the matter, this Assembly has voted – by an overwhelming majority – to remove the role from our constitution. The defunct Office of the Alliance President will now be restructured. Many emissaries will be retained to serve as the non-political ambassadors they were intended to be. [[Council Member|Councillor]] [[Elijah Beck]] has volunteered to resign in order to oversee the new department. We hope that this unfortunate chapter of Alliance history has now been brought to an end." An earlier vote held during the same session has selected Admiral [[Tahir West]] of the [[Tionisla]] fleet to join the [[Council of Admirals]], replacing the disgraced [[Frederick Yamamoto]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d0a5a3b3728fe3d262882ee GalNet: Alliance President Role Abolished]</ref>

13 JUN 3305

*President Gibson Kincaid has been removed from office after a majority vote in the [[Alliance Assembly]], following charges of treason, murder and corruption. The date of his trial is expected to be confirmed soon. [[Alliance Interpol]] confirmed that Kincaid was detained while attempting to flee his personal estate on [[Zaonce]]. A firefight broke out between Interpol agents and emissaries from the [[President of the Alliance|Office of the Alliance President]], acting as Kincaid's personal bodyguards. Several fatalities were later confirmed. A number of influential corporate and political figures who supported Kincaid's conspiracy to gain executive control of the [[Alliance]] have also been arrested, including a senior director at the [[Bank of Zaonce]]. Prosecutions are expected to rely heavily on the recent testimony of Admiral [[Frederick Yamamoto]] and a detailed report provided by the [[Wallglass Investigations Agency]]. Tashmira Silva, who privately commissioned the report, told the media: "I am satisfied that Kincaid will at last face justice for his crimes, including my sister's murder. [[Fazia Silva|Fazia]] championed fairness, and succeeded as an entrepreneur by believing in others, she would be pleased to know that the Alliance has been purged of such a corrupt presence."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d0239210af2d9467f36c791 GalNet: President Kincaid Impeached]</ref>
