James Michael Johnson (January 30, 1972 - November 11, 2068) was an American attorney, politician, and former talk radio host who served as the 61st President of the United States from 2045 to 2049. He was a prominent voice in the conservative movement and served in the House of Representatives from 2017 to 2045 where he resigned to assume the office of President of the United States. 
==Early Life==
James Michael Johnson was born on January 30, 1972 to James Patrick Johnson and Jeanne Johnson in Louisiana. Johnson would live a fairly average childhood and would graduate from Louisiana State University with a law degree. 
Following his graduation, Johnson would work for Kitchens Law Firm in addition to the Alliance Defense Fund as a senior attorney and national media spokesperson. During his time as a lawyer, he would serve as co-counsel for the defendant in the lawsuit challenging the Constitutionality of Louisiana's ban on same-sex marriage.
==Entry into Politics== 
Johnson would first involve himself in politics in 2015, when he ran unopposed in the special election to Judge Jeff R. Thompson's former seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives. In October of 2015, Johnson would once again run unopposed. During his time in Louisiana's House of Representatives, he would advocate for both social and fiscal conservative policies, proposing the "Marriage and Conscience Act", which would outlaw the ability to discriminate against individuals for opposing same-sex marriage, and opposing the proposed Louisiana sales tax increase (By one penny for the purpose of paying off Louisiana's $940 million budget deficit). Johnson would serve in the Louisiana House of Representatives for the next year and a half, before being inaugurated to the US House of Representatives in 2017.
==Representative==
In Congress, Johnson would serve as Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, Vice Chairman of the Republican Conference, an Assistant Whip for the House Republican Party, and a member of the Judiciary and Armed Service Committees. In his first two Congressional terms, he would consistently support the policy of President Donald Trump, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, travel ban on seven countries which were predominantly Muslim, and American Health Care Act of 2017. In his third term, in 2021, Johnson opposed establishing a commission to investigate the Capitol Riots of January 6, 2021. 
In 2023, Johnson's consistent support for the Republican Party would see him be appointed as House Republican Whip. During the Sanders and Yang Administrations, Johnson would use his position to oppose the far-left agenda put forth by the Presidents and get other House Republicans to do the same. Ultimately, however, the House Republicans would be ineffective in stopping the Democrats' agenda from passing. 
When Kevin McCarthy became Speaker of the House in 2031, Johnson saw the vacancy of the House Majority Leader position as an opportunity for political advancement; he ran for the position and was successful in obtaining such. Over the course of the Gabbard Administration, Johnson would continue to advocate for right-wing policy, yet would support President Gabbard in her decision to cut international intervention, claiming that the far-left social programs were not good, yet that if they were going to exist, the United States should not dig itself a deeper hole by spending on other things. Because of this, Gabbard's isolationist policies received bipartisan support and thus passed more easily. 
During the Cuomo Administration, Johnson would support any and all efforts to investigate President Andrew Cuomo and see him convicted for his apparent corrupt crimes. In 2043, the efforts made by the Republican Party under Johnson would ultimately be successful, as Cuomo would be impeached on February 12 (With bipartisan support). Following Kevin McCarthy's ascension to the Presidency, Johnson would once again see an opportunity to advance politically, this time running for Speaker of the House; Johnson would once again be successful in obtaining the position.
Over the next two years, Johnson would use his position as Speaker to aid President McCarthy in his agenda, most notably by implementing a new rule which states that the President's agenda, as Chief Legislator, comes before any other person's. Because of this, Johnson would see McCarthy's agenda efficiently passed, thus bringing new Conservative policies to the United States.
==Presidential Campaign==
When McCarthy announced that he would not run for a second term as President, Johnson announced his bid for the Republican primaries. Using his track record as someone who consistently supported Republican policy, and promising to uphold McCarthy's agenda (In addition to making the Supreme Court more Republican so that more left-wing rulings could be overturned), he successfully won the primaries. Due to the fact that many Americans thought that the McCarthy Administration was successful, Johnson thereafter won the Presidential Election of 2044. 
==Presidency (2045-2049)==
===Inauguration===
Mike Johnson was sworn in as President on January 20, 2045.
===Early Days===
President Johnson would be the only President in history to have over half his cabinet nominees rejected by Congress. He would continue sending in nominations only for them to be rejected on partisan grounds. The Democratic supermajority held up nearly all of his administration agenda.
===Foreign Policy===
The Johnson Administration would hold a very lax and uninterested view of world affairs. No new programs or initiatives were attempted. 
===Tax Cuts===
In March 2045 Johnson would pass his only legislative accomplishment, the tax cuts reorganization act of 2045, that enjoyed bipartisan support. 
===Overview===
The Johnson Administration was one that was best described as passive; there were not many new agendas that were introduced by President Johnson and he mainly just continued the work of his predecessor (McCarthy). Because of this, Johnson would face harsh criticism from John Hersey in the Republican primaries, as Hersey promised to implement an agenda that was unique and which would provide the United States with the leadership that Hersey alleged it deserved. Due to Hersey's ambition, Johnson would lose the Republican primaries for the 2048 Presidential Election, thus rendering him a one-term President. When he left office in 2049, Johnson ended his Presidency with a 45% approval rating.
