A chronological problem in Terraform? (Great book by the way). The book states Stockton is a lame duck president and the candidates for the upcoming election have been selected. But the journalist investigating Donsaii states Donsaii was made persona non grata by President Stockton between 3.5 and 6.5 years ago. So during Terraform Stockton has only served 6.5 years not the 7.5 years required to be lameduck.
