Jeremy Grenwich (born August 20, 1963) is an American politician who served as the 41st President of the United States from 1985 to 1987. Prior to his presidency, he was the owner of the Associated Press.

Grenwich was raised in the United States Virgin Islands. He is the first American President born outside of the continental United States. He graduated from school, and became owner of the Associated Press.

In 1984, Grenwich won the Social Democratic presidential nomination and defeated Joshua Cruz, Nathan Zandstra, and Diane Gonzolez-Sivula. Grenwich became the youngest first-term President.

Immediately upon becoming President, Grenwich focused on the Environment and Nuclear Disarmament. His proposed UNA treaty at first was deadlocked in the Senate, and later failed. However, an amendment of the treaty, NO MOC ALTS, was later passed, although by this time, Grenwich's presidency had been on it's last days, and Tim Andrews became President shortly after.

In foreign affairs, President Grenwich refused to denounce the USSR as an "evil empire", saying "To all of the people who state the Soviet Union as an 'evil empire' I condemn you, I urge you to think about the families and communities who are simply doing what they have been brought up with as 'right,' they know no difference, they know no political ideologies, they know like us all to put food on the table to do their jobs and raise their families, no country shall be named 'evil' that is not a fair judgement or statement, yes the communist leadership of Russia and the Soviet Union is not correct, it's not fair, it's not morally right, but that does not make the country 'evil'. Peace is not just achievable, peace is necessary, working together is necessary, for the good of humanity for the good of ourselves, for America, for the world. We Must Thank The Democratic Option and It's Potential.

When Grenwich resigned in late 1987, he had an approval rating of 52.2%. He was one of the more unpopular Presidents
