Assuming the Presidency in August [[2587]], Barton had high hopes of returning the Outworlds alliance to it's [[Reunification War|pre–Reunification War]] greatness, but he lacked the skills and political touch his father had possessed. For several years, Barton was barely able to influence the Star League reconstruction efforts being controlled by the [[Director of Outworlds Alliance Affairs]], [[Frederick Kiryukin]], and was reduced to observing the [[Star League]] efforts while frantically putting out internal political fires.<ref name="H:RWp160">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 160, "The Terms of Outworlds Freedom"</ref><ref name="H:RWp160+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 160, "Failing Policies and New Relations"</ref> Assuming the Presidency in August [[2587]], Barton had high hopes of returning the Outworlds alliance to it's [[Reunification War|pre–Reunification War]] greatness, but he lacked the skills and political touch his father had possessed.

− Barton moved from observation to action initially by trying to fight for the expansion of the Star League-funded reconstruction and recovery efforts; he also started a series of economic programs that partnered Alliance businesses with counterparts in the [[Federated Suns]] and [[Draconis Combine]]. He then called on the tactics Grigori and other Alliance Presidents had used for generations, attempting at first to conceal from each nation the fact that many of the schemes were being funded by both, and when caught out, tried to play them off against each other. Lacking the ability to use such tactics successfully, Barton's efforts failed, and in [[2600]] an organized group of investors from the Combine organized a coup within the Alliance. Using bribery and other means to secure the required votes, the Kuritan group successfully ousted Barton from the Presidency in favor of his cousin [[Rodrigo Avellar]].<ref name="H:RWp160+"/> + Barton moved from observation to action initially by trying to fight for the expansion of the Star League-funded reconstruction and recovery efforts; he also started a series of economic programs that partnered Alliance businesses with counterparts in the [[Federated Suns]] and [[Draconis Combine]].
