	With President [[Laura Roslin\|Roslin]]'s health rapidly failing she elects to abdicate the presidency to aid Admiral [[William Adama\|Adama]] in his high-risk assault on [[The Colony]]. [[Romo Lampkin]], former public defender and adviser to interim President [[Lee Adama]] is chosen to be her successor. Although Roslin survives the mission, she does not return to an active role in the government. President Lampkin takes part in the debate and planning of the settlement of the [[Earth (RDM)\|newly found "Earth"]], but expresses his concerns over Lee Adama's suggestion that the Colonials and Cylons abandon their technology and live like the native humans already present on the planet. With the survivors diffusing across the planet and possessing no means to communicate and co-ordinate with one another, it is assumable that the Colonial government is officially dissolved, thus making Romo Lampkin the last President of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. His term is probably among the shortest in Colonial history, spanning just hours, possibly a few days at the most {{TRS\|Daybreak, Part II}}.
