Wolfgang William Stanaway (January 6, 2075 - December 19, 2175) was an American politician who served as the 79th President of the United States from 2125 to 2129.
==Early Life==
Wolfgang William Stanaway was born on January 6, 2075 to two middle class parents in Kanawha. In his youth, Stanaway would develop a keen interest for poetry and would spend much of his time examining and writing about the world around him. Following his high school graduation, Stanaway would attend Sarah Lawrence College from 2093 to 2097. 
In his final year of college, Stanaway would begin to publish a series of poems entitled "The Burning", which focused largely on the actions of fascist organization Third Position, as they attempted to wreck havoc across the east coast. He would quickly gain regional popularity for his work, which would make him a prime target of various Third Position members in New York. In February of 2097, Stanaway would be forced into exile from the college and would take refuge in West Virginia. In April of 2097, when the conflict against Third Position was over, Stanaway returned to Sarah Lawrence and finished his education.
Following his college graduation, Stanaway would begin a professional writing career. In 2099, he would publish a novel (written in verse) detailing the life of someone similar to President William Rowell, entitled "The Breaking of Good", which focused on how poverty left Rowell to insanity. This novel would become a best-seller by the New York Times and would leave Stanaway increasingly well-known across the United States. 
When World War IV broke out in 2105, Stanaway would begin writing poems detailing the horrors of the matter. While his poems would generate some sympathy towards the war's end, most would view its continuation as a necessity, thus leaving Stanaway's pleas for peace falling largely on deaf ears. This experience, of being able to do nothing in a time of crisis, devastated Stanaway. Thus, when the world started suffering under Doomsday in 2110, Stanaway would take a break from writing and would begin doing whatever he could to provide humanitarian aid to the people in West Virginia. When a government-esq institution (as there was no true government in West Virginia) attempted to declare independence from the United States in 2112, Stanaway opposed this, saying that more could be done for the West Virginian people if the state worked with other regions in the United States. When President Benjamin Atwood occupied the state in 2113, Stanaway therefore supported the occupation and joined Atwood's Isolationist Party. 
Over the course of the next three years, Stanaway would continue his attempts to provide aid to the Kanawhan people. Unlike the previous three years of doing so, however, Stanaway noticed that the quality of life in Kanawha was not improving. In 2114, Stanaway wrote to President Atwood asking if he could develop a program increasing the efficiency of distributing humanitarian materials. To Stanaway's dismay, Atwood remained silent on the matter. This would leave Stanaway with increasing distrust of Atwood; thus, when Ajacentist Presidential nominee Garret Columbia began an investigation into Atwood, Stanaway joined the investigation team. Upon discovering that it was in fact Atwood who was stealing from not only the Kanawhan people yet also many Americans across the nation, Stanaway was nothing less than disgusted and horrified. He immediately left the Isolationist Party and joined the big-tent party in opposition to Atwood, the Ajacentist Party; Stanaway would also campaign heavily for Columbia, which would help him win the Presidency. 
==Entry into Politics==
In 2118, when it was announced that Congressional elections would be recommencing, Stanaway declared his candidacy for Senator of Kanawha. In his campaign, Stanaway would extensively highlight how he helped the people even when it was difficult and put a burden on himself, in addition to how he has always stood for what he thought to be right. Upon winning the Ajacentist primary for the position, Stanaway would easily sway the people of Kanawha to vote him into office. 
==Senator==
When Stanaway was inaugurated to the Senate, Congressional Ajacentists were divided into two main factions: Traditionalists, who argued that the Capitol Building and Marble Palace were essential for the government to function properly, and Liberals who argued that the reconstruction of these buildings should come second to the aid of Americans. Stanaway would side with the Liberal faction of the party and would consistently vote against increased funding to the reconstruction of the buildings. In his first term, Stanaway would also successfully create and chair the "Senatorial National Repair Committee", which had the goal of relieving newly integrated areas of the nation from their poverty and disorganization.
In 2122, when the Isolationist-controlled House of Representatives impeached all nine Supreme Court Justices on the basis of them not being confirmed to office by the Senate, Stanaway would join the Senators voting in favor of their acquittal; he, much like his colleagues, feared that President James Capone was using the impeachment to pack the court with his own Justices and re-instate an Isolationist dictatorship. 
==Presidential Campaign==
See: 2124 United States Presidential Election
Come time for his term expiration, Stanaway would not run for Senatorial re-election. Instead, he would accept the offer to become Ajacentist Presidential nominee Harrison Victor's running mate in the Presidential Election of 2124. This Vice Presidential bid would prove fruitful for Stanaway in the short-term, as he and Victor would attain a majority of electoral votes, yet would soon come close to being all for nothing. 
===Harrison Victor's death===
On December 30, 2124, President-Elect Harrison Victor would murdered by a lone gunman named Tralin Henrycaptica.
===Capone v. Stanaway===
When Capone issued an executive order stating that if the President-Elect dies before attaining office, the position would go to the runner-up, Stanaway would take up a case to challenge Capone in the Supreme Court. In court, Stanaway would not only make the Constitutional argument that the Vice President-Elect has just as much of a right to inherit a Presidential victory as a Vice President does to inherit the Presidency, but would also employ large amounts of emotion in his case; he openly accused Capone of being a murderer who sought to subvert democracy for his own gain. Many would accuse the court's proceedings in this case as being partial towards Stanaway, as Chief Justice John Act tolerated scenarios against Capone in the courtroom which would typically be struck down; this was certainly not aided by how, in the end, the court would rule in favor of Stanaway, thus seeing him become the new President-Elect. Ultimately, however, Stanaway's victory was seen as a positive for a majority of Americans.
