Francis Joseph Vita IV (March 18, 1982 - June 2, 2081) was an American politician who served as the 58th President of the United States from 2027 to 2029 following the resignation of Kari Lake. A member of the Democratic Party Vita was previously a Republican Senator and Vice President for the first week of his term, changing parties as a result of actions taken by the Lake Administration. By the time of his Administration Vita was officially member of the Democratic Party.
Congress never formally accented to his legitimacy as President and for the majority of his term he would struggle over the Presidency with Speaker of the House Hakeem Jeffries who also claimed to be the 58th President. This was the basis of a year long constitutional crisis where as 50 nations recognized Vita as the legitimate President and 56 recognized Jeffries as the legitimate President. Vita would come out on top of the power struggle as Secret Service viewed him as the rightful President and allowed him to remain at the White House. Vita avoided removal in Congress prior by appeasing the majority of the Democratic controlled congress by switching parties to the Democratic Party during his time as Vice President. This appeasement deprived Jeffries of the extra congressional help he required to successfully oust Vita.
The Supreme Court refused to rule on his legitimacy out of fear of their own safety and although informally, Congress finally accepted him as President by the end of his term for his help in ending the Congressional standstill that came as a result of the 2024 United States Presidential Election that ended with Andrew Yang becoming President.
After leaving office Vita retired from active political life. The lack of clarity on his legitimacy raised issues on his post Presidential entitlements such as lifetime Secret Service protection, pension, and Presidential Library. To get around this issue, the incoming Yang Administration passed legislation personally granting Vita these things but not actually clarifying on his legitimacy.

=Senator (2024-2025)=
=Vice Presidency (2025-2027)=
The Vice Presidency of Francis J. Vita was constantly plagued by accusations of illegitimacy and Vita was frequently threatened with arrest by Speaker Hakeem Jeffries who himself was vying for the Presidency on Lake's downfall.
==Party Switch==
As a response to the increasing violence and erraticism of the Lake Administration, and in an attempt to castrate the hunger for his removal by Democrats in Congress, a week into his Vice Presidency Vita switched political parties to the Democratic Party. This move enraged Lake who in private inquired about having him assassinated for his "betrayal". The gambit worked as Jeffries lost needed support for impeachment in the House and Senate.
==Staying Quiet==
During the remainder of his time as Vice President, seeking to avoid Lake's anger as much as possible, he kept quiet on her abuses of power and stayed away from the White House as often as he could.

==Inauguration== 
 President Kari Lake resigned officially as President at 11:01 PM, October 4, 2027. When this happened, Vice President Vita automatically assumed the Presidency. He was taken to the east room of the White House to be sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts. In his inaugural speech, Vita said "My fellow countrymen, this endless nightmare, has come to an end. The time of insanity and malice running our country is now at it's end."
===Jeffries Speech===
Shortly after Vita was sworn in, Speaker of the House Hakeem Jeffries made a speech on the House floor shaming Vita for as he called it "being the third liar in a row to steal the American Presidency". He disparaged Secret Service for siding with Vita and called on Chief Justice John Roberts to resign for swearing him in. 
==Disputed Legitimacy== 
==January 6 Capitol massacre==
See: January 6 United States Capitol massacre
On January 6, 2029, the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., was attacked by a mob of supporters of Former U.S. President Donald Trump, two months after his defeat in the 2028 Presidential Election. They sought to force the United States Federal Government into declaring Trump the winner after Congress voted to elect Andrew Yang in the 2028 Presidential contingent Election. Trump for his part publicly begged his supporters to stand down saying "I know how disappointing this result is, but Congress made their decision and Yang isn't a bad guy. He's working very well with me and we should give him a fair chance to govern." His words fell on deaf ears as Trump has been staying in close proximity with Yang and incumbent President Francis J. Vita during the intervening weeks, leading to members of the mob to believe he had either been compromised or was being held hostage.
During the afternoon of January 6, 2029, a mob of pro-MAGA supporters rushed the defenses of the United States Capitol. Aided and encouraged by GOP members of Congress, the mob, many of whom part of domestic terrorist patriot groups like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and American Dawn were operating under "kill all captives" orders and thus hunted down and murdered members of Congress, Capitol police, Congressional staffers and workers inside the Capitol. Over 30 Congressmen, Senators and Representatives from both parties were killed. The mob targeted GOP Congressmen as well as Democratic ones due to Russian propaganda designed to stoke rage and anger by leading the mob believe that GOP Congressmen had turned against the MAGA movement or had always been controlled opposition.
=Post Presidency (2029-2081)=
