Rhenic

President Rhenic is a Discordian (of GOK Origin) Statesman who has served the Republic from August 2019. 
 
== History ==
He has been Special Counsel twice. The first time he was appointed by the Assembly and investigated President Finnegan, which ended in Finnegan's impeachment in a 4-1-1 vote in the Assembly and a 2-1-1 vote in the Supreme Court. In the second Special Counsel he was appointed by Attorney General cornshoe to investigate Justice Jones, but shortly resigned after cornshoe was relieved by President Finn.
President Rhenic was the Union CEO of the Discordia Legal Union. The union has achieved an D8,000/week salary for all attorneys as well as a D500/week pension once they retire. 
He was appointed Solicitor General and was nominated to the Supreme Court on 9/22/2019 by President Taurus. He was confirmed by the assembly in a 4-1 vote and would serve alongside the greatest legal minds in the Republic.
As a citizen of Avalon, he served in the Assembly multiple times representing the people of Avalon, then later protecting the interests of the Republic as President.
President Rhenic briefly served as Sovereign of the 9th Republic, until the dissolution of the 9th Republic. He continued to be relevant as a respected administrator, until the Union of Discord ended the age of Porsche's Republics. Under Hotzendorf, he was decreasingly relevant.
== Constitutional Union Party Era ==
President Rhenic is remembered as a important Discordian of GOK Origin, and although he is often lumped in with the often referred to as traitorous Porsche, his accomplishments stand on their own. He disappeared in July 2020, but soon returned by the beginning of 2021. 
President Rhenic ran for President under the Constitutional Union Party, kicking now traitor cornshoe off the ticket for being "low energy". This run started 24 hours prior to the election and ultimately failed when swordpepi won. This election saw over 100 votes, which is one of the biggest in history. 
The Constitutional Union Party gained control over Congress, and especially the Senate. Using this influence, they impeached swordpepi from the Presidency, allowing Vice President KenTech to rise to power despite his severe inactivity. They also barred swordpepi from holding offices of trust, which is still in effect today. They impeached several administrators. The most notable of which was Commie Jesus being impeached from the position of Owner. They attempted to remove Karl from the constitution but ultimately failed. 
President Rhenic was one of the leaders of the Constitutional Union Party, which became the largest party and most controversial party by the end of January 2021. Following the January 28th Massacre committed by the administration against the Constitutional Union Party, President Rhenic lead the Constitutional Union Party on an activity strike. 
President Rhenic ran for President again against Kennedy, who defected from the Constitutional Union Party to join the opposing Discordia First Party (DFP). At the time of the election, President Rhenic was Speaker of the House of Representatives and next in line for the Presidency following the impeachment of President Kentech. Once Kentech was impeached, then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate ordered the arrest of President Rhenic, declaring the Constitutional Union Party a terrorist organization and stealing the Presidency. He ultimately won the election after President Rhenic and several other key Constitutional Union Party members left the server. 
== Post Constitutional Union Party Era - Judicial ==
A few days after the election ended and tensions cooled, President Rhenic returned to the Republic with the intention of retiring to the Supreme Court. He was appointed as a Circuit Judge for the state of Avalon by Chief Justice Dushonjj2 during the transition from District Courts to the Federal Circuit for the Court of Common Pleas. He served as a Circuit Judge for a few weeks before being nominated by President Bookers (R) to the position of Chief Justice. This nomination ultimately failed due to Senators having worries from the Constitutional Union Party Era. He was nominated to the position again by President Based (R). This time, he was confirmed by a narrow margin and became the 4th Chief Justice of the Republic of Discord on February 16, 2021. 
As Chief Justice, President Rhenic did not hear any Supreme Court cases due to his work as a litigator and Circuit Judge. However, he implemented many changes into the judicial procedure. He also left a list of changes for the next Chief Justice to review during the next Judicial Conference. He resigned from the position of Chief Justice on March 5th, 2021. 
== Post Constitutional Union Party Era - Political ==
Upon his return, President Rhenic founded the Republican Party alongside many other influential members of the server. This party ended up becoming one of the largest parties, having 2 consecutive Presidents (Bookers and Based). This party was ultimately turned into the Reform Party upon the return of close associate Fu, who had left during the Constitutional Union Party exodus. The Reform Party stands as the largest party at the time of this publication and is part of a coalition with the New Libertarian Party. 
Seeing problems with the economy, President Rhenic started a news channel to expose the government's mismanagement of money. On February 28, 2021, President Rhenic founded the media station "Economic Watchdogs" which pointed out flaws in the economic system pushed by the elite and why it was failing. He also offered solutions to these problems, many of which were implemented. He gained a solid reputation in the economic world due to this channel, which ultimately ended up with him being nominated to the position of Secretary of the Treasury by President Deegan. He resigned from the position of Chief Justice on March 5th, 2021 in order to take this new challenge.
As Secretary of the Treasury, President Rhenic worked closely with his political opponents in the New Libertarian Party (before the coalition was formed) to pass the Economic Revitalization Act of 2021. This bill established the Internal Revenue Service, changed the Department of Labor into the Bureau of Labor, created Tax Courts, lowered taxes from 10% to 5.5% on individuals with over D40,000 in net worth, and ultimately increased the power and function of the Department of the Treasury. Under Secretary President Rhenic, the deficit turned into a surplus and the national debt was paid off. Media stations began running advertisements, which became a product and source of revenue for businesses. 
== Post Constitutional Union Party Era - Presidential Politics ==
Following his economic success, President Rhenic ran for President for a third time under the Reform Party, which formed a coalition of over 90 members only a few days prior. The election of March 13, 2021 was the first election to use the electoral college for a Presidential election. President Rhenic ultimately won this election very narrowly against then President Deegan, continuing the 1-term President streak. President Rhenic won the popular vote by an unknown, but very slim margin. President Rhenic won the states of Romaria and Doulant, garnering him 25 electoral votes. Deegan won the state of Narolia, which gave him 9 electoral votes. The states of Avalon and Balion were tied. Deegan dropped out of the race, leaving President Rhenic as the sole candidate remaining. 
President Rhenic was inaugurated on March 14th, 2021 in the most spectacular inauguration in the history of the Republic. 
On March 27th, 2021, Rhenic won re-election against Speaker of the House Rivera with a 36.2% margin. He won 61.7% of the vote, or 29 votes. This was a significant increase compared to the first election, where he only had 19 votes and won the election by 1. 
== First Presidential Term ==
He nominated his entire cabinet shortly after, all of which were confirmed within hours of their nomination, which is a record. He nominated Former President Deegan to be his Secretary of State, Why_JJ to be his Secretary of Defense, Former Chief Justice Dushon to be his Attorney General, and Khazir to be his Director of Labor.
President Rhenic also made several appointments, which include Porsche as his Chief of Staff and Licky as the Director of the Republic Bureau of Investigations. He kept IRS Commissioner John Thune from the previous administration. He also reformed the Security Council, removing Chairman Mcl5, Copley, Karl, Fennec, and Bean from their positions on the Security Council. As their replacements, he appointed himself as the Chairman, and Vice President Blake, Secretary of Defense JJ, and Attorney General Dushon to the Security Council.
President Rhenic issued several executive orders. Executive Order 017 declared March 11th a national holiday (Known as Honor Day) in honor of the terrorist attacks which occurred on that day. Executive Order 018 declared March 14th a national holiday (Free Market Day) in honor of the death of communist theorist Karl Marx.
