'''Jerome Archer''' is the Vicecurrent [[Shadow President]] of the [[Federation]] and former Vice President under the administration of [[President of the Federation|Federal President]] [[Zachary Hudson]]. Appointed by Hudson in March 3307 to replace the late [[Brad Mitchell]], Archer was previously a [[Congressman]] and the Secretary of Security within Hudson's Cabinet. Before that he served as Director of the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]], and had a long career in law enforcement. In a statement before [[Federal Congress]] on the day of his appointment as Vice President, Archer stated that he planned to use his authority to enhance security and vigilance within the Federation.
 
Archer's first major success as vice president was the [[Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act]], approved by Congress on March 30, 3307, which he drafted and sponsored. Archer's ties to the FIA allowed him to make rapid progress with Federal security services in implementing the law, which resulted in the creation of the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]] on April 6. Despite controversy over the PDB directly instigating the [[Federal Rebellion of 3307]], Archer's support for it did not waver. He countered criticism by arguing that strengthening the Federal government's surveillance powers had demonstrably increased security and reduced crimes throughout Federal space, and also led to the arrest of extremist groups such as [[Jupiter's Wrath]].
 
Archer ran for President against then-Shadow President Felicia Winters in October 3309, but was defeated by his Liberal rival.<ref>https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6525721415911ead32092431</ref> After Winters' inauguration in October 3310, Archer assumed his new role as Shadow President.<ref>https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6723599650a8d2e7a403836b</ref>
