President Knope is one of the most influential presidential leaders of the 21st century, having led America through the final transition to the post-carbon economy, the establishment of Armstrong International Park on the Moon, the Clones Rights Act, the war with the Neo-Atlantis Insurgency, and, of course, the crisis that occurred after the theft of the Presidential Rubies from the Smithsonian, resolved through the heroic actions of Burt Macklin.

But her biggest legacy, perhaps, is how she brought idealism back to American politics. The pressures of the presidency have shattered even the greatest of men and women, but somehow Knope was able to keep up the pluck and optimism despite the partisanship and struggles that her administration faced. This great example proved to be an inspiration for American politicians throughout the later half of the 21st century, an age where political engagement, charity, and community ties recovered after "the great flamewars" of the early decades of the 21st century.

Perhaps her husband, First Gentleman Ben Wyatt, said it best: "President Knope has made public service as popular as Cones of Dunshire Online: Green Zebras of Cnjarr."

Indeed, Architect. Indeed.
