President of the NCR

[Richard I]

If you help the NCR win, you are extremely popular. Would it be possible in theory, to assassinate the President and take office? (Assuming they arent caught)

Or perhaps be voted into office?

[Vassago Rain]

No.

[ElPascal]

That's not how deomcracies work. Besides that murder is actually illegal in the NCR.

[Grendalcat]

I don't think the cattle barons would approve.

No, and even trying would take you from hero to traitor in a heartbeat.

[Count Von Count]

Although, you could let him die at the dam, then try to make the move to politics

If he survives and the NCR win, then he is the hero who organised the victory, even if you carried it out

That last part's not actually 100% true. If a soldier attempts a really important and daring move during an important battle, they tend to get lionized for it. If a NCR Courier does something really brave during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, then the Courier can use that later on. If the NCR is as similar to the culture of 1950's America as it's supposed to be, then such a Courier's gonna be another Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Well if the game had an option for it I guess you'd be able to get yourself elected President.
It might be a fun path to take. Try to beat a rigged election and then avoid being impeached when your opponents start digging into your unsavoury past

Fair point, on top of the victory the courier just needs to say something anti-communist and they’re a shoe in

[Mister Holdout]

I suppose it's possible to be appointed President (given your tremendous help to the NCR).

You see? That's why I love New Vegas. The story was written so well that there's plenty of room for interpretation.

It's a meme ♥♥♥♥♥♥

You forgot not adding the "the"
Why even blame people for not getting a joke if it's muddled and hard to get without/even with context.

You can use your bravery and newfound popularity in the army and potentially do a Franco and millitarily coup the NCR
