If the President remains firmly fixed on the bottom line being gil and little more, I think I can work around Heidegger too.
[He's not entirely certain, but .. mostly. People who wanted money could be negotiated with, made to see other, more profitable options than the current path.
Reeve ... didn't sound like someone that should be an immediate target. It's possible there's still ambition and designs, simply held in check by the older, more entrenched greed of his elders. Sephiroth was willing to let it go for a while, but he'll be watching.]
When the President says he wants his kid as Vice, then I imagine everyone bends to his whim. Twenty is old enough for a managerial position, but vice president.. has implications, I think. It's not really a position of true power, but it's very public and makes it hard to act.
[Rufus was a mystery. He'd continue to be for a while, though if he was more amenable to Sephiroth's plans than the aging senior Shinra, then...
Well, sometimes patricide was a way of instilling fear and awe too.]
I won't put much stock in the heir apparent being interested in selling out his father for power, but if the Turks are willing to cooperate with me they may have an insider perspective that I, a mere tool, would lack.
