when does jackson became president sons of anarchy
Jax Teller In the end, Jax does not kill Clay, as he needs Clay alive for the Galindo Cartel/IRA deal. Romeo and Luis are CIA informants and need the gun deal to survive; however, Irish King Galen will only deal with Clay. They threaten to use the cancelled RICO operation to crush Sons of Anarchy if he does not comply. Instead he tells Clay that he will be stepping down as President, thus making Jax SAMCRO's new President. He removes Clay's President patch and calls a meeting where everyone but Opie attends. His first act as President is making Chibs his new Sergeant-at-Arms. He tries one last time to get Tara to leave (revealing the CIA threat as well) with his boys, but she comes back telling him she wasn't going anywhere.
