Ladies and gentlemen, I know from my own experience that mutant powers can be dangerous. But we must not forget that mutants are human beings. We must be careful that in controlling mutants who abuse their powers, we do not oppress those who would use their powers for good of all humanity.

Senator Robert Kelly was a politician who believed mutants to be a danger to society. When the President rescinded the Mutant Registration Act, Kelly decided to run for president himself on an anti-mutant campaign, promising to relocate all mutants in the US into internment camps.[1]
Kelly came to befriend the X-Men and support mutants shortly after his election as President of the United States after the X-Men had rescued him from both an assassination attempt by Mystique (who was posing as Gambit to make it look like the X-Men did it) and an attempted brainwashing by Master Mold. When Kelly took office as president, he spoke out in support of mutants, and made his first presidential act an official pardoning of Beast, who had been unfairly arrested. These actions led Kelly's former, anti-mutant supporters to feel betrayed by him and create the public anti-mutant backlash. President Kelly remained friendly with the X-Men, working with them to confront global mutant threats such as Magneto's building an armed, inhabitable, mutants-only asteroid.[citation needed]Notes
