The American president was voted in 1968 to be the one who leads all nations in the event of an alien incursion. The vote was passed by the United Nations. Most likely it was done because the U.N. is in New York, and so would be many of the world's leaders. The American president seemed kind of stupid, but so would you. He knew nothing about the race only that they seemed to be wanting a master. He also did not know that Harold Saxon was called the Master. Colin Stinton, the actor who played the president is actually a Canadian; who I must say did a fine job of making the character seem a bit haughty, and unsure of himself.

I just like to imagine someone waking up and turning the TV on just as all this goes down: “So, alien balls show up. The Prime Minister is their friend and orders one of them to kill the US President. Then he holds the entire room hostage and kills a guy with a glowy stick. Some skinny guy starts calling the PM “Master” and talking about sounds in his head while begging him to stop. The PM has a hand in a briefcase and points his glowy stick at skinny guy, causing him to act like a tilted Goldeneye cartridge. Dead guy wakes up and skinny guy becomes old. PM brings a random family in and tells old skinny guy that his hearts will break if he finds out what the balls are. PM declares that the world is ending and plays Voodoo Child while his wife awkwardly shuffles about. Then the sky opens up, PM’s balls rain down on Earth and now they’re killing everyone”. “Okay, back to bed, no more drugs”.
What the general public will remember of the incident, since time was reset, is 'Today the British Prime Minister used his alien balls to assassinate the President, then pointed a stick in the air and yelled a lyric from a popular song.

@@rtozier2011 that's why I'm questioning why the Doctor didn't reverse time a few extra minutes because, unless he stood in front of the camera saying "The Prime Minister is an power hungry alien... again, UNIT will explain everything." then there would be MAJOR political fallout... possibly chances of WW3 (chances which would have been higher if this episode was from Classic Who and had taken place in the Cold War).

John Porteous Ainley warn a proper regeneration though, it’s just the 13th incarnation wearing that body. Same goes for Eric Roberts. When the Master lost both of those bodies he reverted back to his 13th self. It’s also been confirmed by the EU that Delgado and Beevers are different incarnations as we see Delgado begin to regenerate at the end of Doorway to hell and we get a flashback scene in the Two Masters that shows a pre decayed Master played by Geoffrey Beevers getting burned on Terserus
I never actually knew that “The Toclafane” were actually the alien race that was developed by the production back in Series 1 of the revival when they were still arguing with Terry Nation over the rights to the Daleks and whether or not they could really use them in NuWho. They had to developed a backup plan for the episode “Dalek” if they couldn’t actually use Daleks, and the Toclafane is what they came up with. They didn’t actually end up using them until now though.
Why would you say that? The president did nothing more than follow the UN's laws of 1968, as well as Unit's advice. You may remember that Unit is the Doctor's organization.
