Rafael Ted Cruz was the name of the 47th President of the United States from 2025-2029. Cruz was elected in 2024, beating up Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Presidential Election. Cruz was President until 2029, when he was forced to step out of the 2028 election due to a controversial scandal involving Russian President Vladimir Putin.
==Presidency==
Cruz was elected in 2024, beating out Governor Andrew Cuomo by 200 electoral votes. Cruz maintained a moderate stance amongst a rise of Republicans and Democrats as well as Progressives and Conservatives. 
Cruz maintained Trump-era tax reforms.  In 2026, Cruz passed the Social Security Act of 2026, pushed forward by Progressives, the act protected Social Security by allowing States to assume control over the matter. States were allowed to maintain partnerships with private firms to help its individualized Social Security patients. 
===Impeachment Hearings===
In 2028, Reports surfaced that Cruz had ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was heavily involved in the 2016 Election. Cruz had reportedly met with the Russians prior to Trump's retirement and told Putin that he would try and defend Trump's interests in Russia.
Cruz distanced himself from Russia and spearheaded NATO's revival.  Putin had threatened to release his Russian ties to the public if Cruz hadn't backed down.
Cruz announced that he would step out of the 2028 election and allow his Vice President, Marco Rubio, to run in his place.
Rubio would win the election in 2028, and Cruz would allow for Impeachment. Congress however, cancelled his impeachment hearings, as he stepped out of the race for 2028.
In 2029, Cruz was tried and found guilty of Collusion.
