Omarosa Ekundayo Sandoval (March 15, 2211 - August 16, 2270) was an American politician who served as the 101st President of the United States from 2261 until his removal from office in 2264.
= Early Life =
Omarosa Sandoval was born on March 15, 2211 to Amar and Ekundayo Sandoval in the Free State of Iraq. For much of his early childhood, Sandoval experienced his family reaping the benefits of Iraq's anarcho-capitalist nature during the American regime of Emperor Thorton, before seeing his family become handsomely wealthy following the American Imperial Reconstruction, in which the republican form of Iraq's government was restored and the former shareholders were compensated by Iraq becoming a public political entity once again.
From 2229 to 2233, Sandoval would attend American University, from which he would graduate with a bachelor's degree in economics. For the next 11 years, Sandoval would work as a policy analyst and would provide many stances in accordance with the Liberty Party, of which Sandoval would be a member. 
= Entry into Politics =
In 2244, Sandoval would grow tired of the policies the predominantly Commawatch Congress instituted and ran for the Senate to "protect President Madden's monetary goals" (despite not entirely approving of the President). Sandoval would fail to make it past the Liberty Party primary for the position. Seeing more Commawatch policy implemented, however, Sandoval would not give up, and would successfully be elected to the House of Representatives in 2246.
In Congress, Sandoval would largely oppose most Commawatch policy introduced. Despite lacking influence to stop its passage, and being seen as too partisan by his Congressional colleagues (thus preventing him from being elected to any committee), Sandoval would continuously win Congressional elections in his district, using the Commawatch policy passed and treatment of him in Congress as justification for him needing to be there; Sandoval claimed that he was a Congressman who could "challenge the establishment". 
= First Presidential Campaign (2248) =
In 2248, Sandoval declared his first Presidential run, stating that Liberty Party policy has been squandered for too long and that he would use the Presidency to bring about major reforms. This rhetoric, however, would be criticized as being too radical, as other candidates claimed that to use such a high position for political gain was an overstep; Sandoval would receive minuscule support, especially due to his limited political experience. Thus, by March of that year, Sandoval announced that he was conceding, stating that his agenda would one day dominate the United States, whilst also criticizing the other candidates as being establishmentarian. Sandoval insinuated they said he was not experienced enough, and that they propped up harmful Presidential traditions. 
= Late Congressional Tenure =
Later that year, Sandoval would face a grueling re-election campaign against the Commawatch nominee for his seat in the House of Representatives, Farug Bulmaq, who alleged that Sandoval was too extreme to serve in the House of Representatives, and that he represents neither his district nor the United States well. Bulmaq promised to restore decency and aid the people of Iraq with civility and compromise; Sandoval responded with a zealous campaign which criticized Bulmaq as attempting to prop up the establishment. The race would be close, yet Sandoval would come out ahead with 50.9% of the vote. 
During the Doss Administration, Sandoval would vote in favor of the Doss Compromise, which limited the amount of money the government could spend with taxpayer money and allowed private citizens to donate money to specific things which they cared about. Once this policy passed, Sandoval would use this to his advantage, donating money to various governmental services to have a larger impact over the budget. Additionally, he would vote in favor of all Liberty reforms which were passed by Congress, and would be mostly supportive of President Henry Doss.
= Electoral Defeat (2256) =
In the General Election of 2256, Sandoval's rhetoric would begin to seep through the cracks; with the Liberty Party having controlled the government for the last eight years, many began to recognize that Sandoval was no longer the "underdog" and that he was more of the establishment than he thought himself to be. Commawatch nominee Hilal Alja, who had never possessed political office before, used this to his advantage, saying that in Sandoval's Congressional tenure, a majority of which has been under a Liberty-dominated Congress, he had the opportunity to bring about the reforms he desired for the nation, yet has done next to nothing; he also highlighted, once again, how Sandoval was considered too partisan among the Liberty Party to even be elected to a committee. This campaign would be what finally did Sandoval in; he would only obtain 48% of the vote to Alja's 52%. 
= Political Activism and Second Presidential Campaign =
Sandoval, however, would not give up. Seeing the Commawatch Party once again control Congress, Sandoval would use this to his advantage. He made speeches across the nation of what he called "Liberty's Dark Age", which he defined as the work of President Doss and Congress being decimated. Sandoval further insinuated that the nation, as a result, was "set back after so much progress has been made." This rhetoric was distinct from all other Presidential candidates for decades, with one distinction being especially present: It appealed not to logos and the selfless betterment of the nation, but instead rage: dogmatic emotion which pulled the strings from a sense of entitlement on something which has been lost.
Sandoval's speeches would see him become more and more popular within the Liberty Party, aided by his unorthodox nature; he used "Liberty's Dark Age" to once again make the case that he was the underdog, which Liberty Party members took as gospel and which was aided by how he was more tribal than nearly all other politicians of his time. In 2259, he would use this newfound popularity to declare a new Presidential run. In the primaries, Sandoval was the projected favorite, largely because he advocated for the Liberty Party with a zeal that the moderate candidates did not possess. However, as the primaries progressed, Sandoval would face apparent competition from Philippine Governor Quezon Picaso. 
Picaso accused Sandoval as being more establishmentarian than he made himself out to be, saying that he's focused "endless government resources on economic goals, without actually paying attention to the wellbeing of many Americans", in reference to how Sandoval was one of the politicians letting the Filipino Discrimination Crisis occur. Picaso largely acted as a moderate Liberty Party member, who was in favor of government intervention as it pertained to preventing businesses from discriminating against Filipinos. 
In the Liberty National Convention, Picaso won by an extremely close margin, obtaining 50.4% of the vote to Sandoval's 49.6%. For the sake of party unity, Picaso chose Sandoval as his running mate. Thus, as Picaso was elected President, so too was Sandoval elected Vice President. 
= Vice Presidency (2261) =
As Vice President, Sandoval supported President Picaso's efforts to reduce federal involvement in the nation, in addition to his abolition of President Theodore Vogel's Bipartisan Executive Office. Albeit for differing reasons, Sandoval and Picaso saw eye to eye that federal involvement under Commawatch governance had been too much. Meanwhile, however, Sandoval opposed President Picaso in his endeavors to investigate cases of Filipino discrimination.
Sandoval served as Vice President for the next four months, until the assassination of President Picaso on April 18, 2261. With that, Sandoval became President of the United States. 
= Presidency (2261 - 2264) =
== Nomination of Eli Pendergast ==
Upon Sandoval's ascension to the Presidency, the first issue that took hold was the question of who his Vice President would be. Most suspected that Sandoval would nominate Augustus Julius to the position. As Speaker of the House of Representatives, Julius was the most influential member of the Liberty Party's traditional faction, and was also the next in line to the Presidency. Because of this, many thought that Speaker Julius had an inherent entitlement to the Vice Presidency. 
However, upon becoming President, Sandoval would be contacted by a former New York state Senator Eli Pendergast. In a letter to Sandoval, Pendergast insinuated that he was better fit to aid Sandoval in his agenda, claiming that because he was an outsider to federal politics, he would be more competent in "fulfilling [Sandoval's] unorthodox governing style." Pendergast additionally presented his voting record in the New York Senate, and used it to claim that he had the same goals as President Sandoval. This rhetoric persuaded Sandoval to nominate Pendergast to the Vice Presidency. Although shocking, Pendergast would be confirmed to office on May 1, 2262. 
== Policy and Controversy ==
As President, Sandoval would fulfill his Liberty primary campaign promise to veto bills which he viewed as government overreach, including those which the Joint Negotiations Committee determined the final draft of. Additionally, he attempted to blackmail the Commawatch Senate majority into proposing repeals of a list of policies Sandoval defined as "federal overreach", through pardoning all individuals convicted of federal crimes. Sandoval even ordered his Vice President, Eli Pendergast, to dissolve the Senate via refusing to allow it to assemble, which Pendergast would allegedly have the authority to do as President of the Senate. To Sandoval's anger, Pendergast refused, citing that the President had "no authority to direct the President of the Senate in his official capacity."
== National Guard Incident ==
In May of 2262, protests from citizens advocating for a return to normalcy and limited use of executive power would surface across the nation. When Sandoval heard about this, paranoia and anger would overcome him, as he would order the national guard to put the protests down and imprison the "traitors" to the United States; Sandoval thought that these were violent rebels attempting to start a civil war. The national guard was initially compliant, yet when it was discovered in the resulting court cases that all protesters were innocent and simply exercising their First Amendment rights, they refused Sandoval's orders, stating that the orders violated the Constitution. In December of 2263, articles of impeachment would be filed against Sandoval, both Commawatch and Liberty Congressmen concurring that he was going too far. This would be coupled with the protesters suing the government for wrongly attacking them, and both injuring them and imprisoning them for a short time period.
== Collapse ==
Whilst this was occurring, Sandoval's denial of the situation deepened. He alleged that the pitfalls of his administration were the result of "foreign influence" and demanded all countries which bordered the United States surrender all of their intelligence, so that the United States could verify that no conspiracies were transpiring against the current President; Sandoval also threatened nuclear war if they did not comply, citing how he will use "any means necessary" to "protect the United States". With that, Sandoval's Cabinet enacted the 25th Amendment to declare Sandoval unfit for office.
== Impeachment and Conviction ==
In 2264, the House of Representatives would pass the final draft of Sandoval's impeachment, charging him with two counts of Conspiracy to Obstruct Congress, one count of Abuse of Power, and one count of Violation of the Constitution. The Senate would find him guilty of all charges, thus seeing Sandoval officially removed from office on May 1, 2264. Sandoval, anticipating his removal from office, had already left the White House headed for Russia. Echoing the collapse of the Lake Administration, he sent a message to the public claiming he was boarding Air Force One and it would be returning without him. Around halfway through his trip and while he was scrambling to have last minuet Executive Orders signed, he was officially removed from Office and thus Air Force One's callsign changed mid-air.
= Post-Presidency (2264-2270) =
Sandoval would enter retirement following his removal from office, being seen and remembered as a lunatic who sought to divide the nation for his own gain of power. He would die six years following his impeachment, on July 4, 2270.
