Bio
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. United States Senator John Keeler stood against incumbent President David Palmer during Palmer's bid for a second term in office. Keeler had early success in the campaign, closing the gap between Palmer and himself in the time up to the Presidential debate. Keeler attempted to use information regarding Palmer's partner, Anne Packard, to discredit the President, but Palmer, having had prior information about this tactic, was not fazed by it. However, when Palmer was forced to cancel the debate at a crucial moment, Keeler seized this opportunity and tried to show the President was unable to cope. When Palmer raised the nation's terror alert level, proving there was a national emergency, Keeler's campaign appeared to be in tatters... before a timely visit from Sherry Palmer, who gave Keeler information regarding Palmer's role in the death of Alan Milliken. Keeler went to Palmer with this information, demanding the President's withdrawal from the race, which would guarantee Keeler a win in the election. Palmer stood his ground, but after learning of the death of Sherry, he withdrew from the race anyway.

Trivia - In an interview on The Charlie Rose Show from May 20, 2005, Joel Surnow disclosed that the writers and producers originally intended to to have President John Keeler die in the crash of Air Force One. However, network executives vetoed that idea and at the conclusion of the season he was comatose. The writers then changed the outcome to have Keeler survive, but be incapacitated, still resulting in Logan's ascendency to the Presidency.
- Because of President Keeler's uncertain condition, fans have still debated the whereabouts and status of Keeler ever since.
- Some fans have suggested that dialogue in the final episode of Season 5 is a subtle indication that Keeler did not die. During a confrontation with Jack Bauer, President Logan references past Presidents who have been assassinated (specifically John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln). Presumably had Keeler died, Logan would have mentioned him as well.
