== List of Post-Convergence American Presidents ==
[2016-2024] Mickey Houser (R-SC): Equal parts corrupt and incompetent, Mickey Houser ever only had one thing going for him: his charisma. When the Convergence hit the United States, Houser completely failed to perform any meaningful tasks, and ultimately lost the favor of the American Public. When his corruption finally came to light in late 2024, it tarnished the reputation of the Republican Party so dearly that during the next election, the Democrats would sweep into office in a supermajority landslide. 
[2024-2032] Bianca Russo (D-NY): Popular and widely beloved for her role as the first Grandmaster of the Order of the White Cross, Bianca Russo is credited with stabilizing the Post-Convergence United States, the creation of the United States Department of Magic Affairs, and bringing about the end of the so-called Age of Chaos. The former New York senator swept into office with a supermajority landslide, and presided over the largest political re-alignment in modern history. 
[2032-2036] Henry Mark Jamison (R-WY): The former vice-president to President Russo's administration, Jamison ran as a continuation candidate to the Russo Government. Willingly serving only one term, Jamison later retired to his ranch in Wyoming, where he would use his vast wealth to help provide adequate housing and services to the nonhuman populations of his state, as well as laying the groundwork for what would one day become the Sun Elf city of Radian. Widely considered a good man and an okay president, Jamison was much more famed for his post-presidency actions than his time in office. 
[2036-2044] Okana Lang (D-HW): Former Hawai'i governor Okana Lang is widely seen to be the most liberal president in US history. A devout democratic socialist and progressive activist, she is credited with the establishment of the robust American Social Net, as well the completion of the transition to a fully green government, and the establishment of America's solarpunk movement. 
[2044-2050] Jackson Vance (D-CA): The centrist governor of California, Vance's election was the result of an agreement between moderate Democrats and Republicans. With the Republican Party floundering on the brink of extinction and facing a death-knell from President Lang's chosen successor, Oregon Governor Orion Day, both decided to rally around Jackson Vance as a moderate candidate. However, what Vance is known about most commonly today, is his disappearance from Air Force One mid-flight on his return trip from Geneva. The so called Vance Conspiracy, though considered a shut case today, is still rife with conspiracy theories, as many files of the case have been redacted or gone missing, alongside many witnesses, detectives, and journalists. 
[2050-2056] Duluth Rampersand (D-AL): Vance's vice-president for his second term, Duluth Rampersand was thrown into the top job entirely by chance, following his dissapearance. Though originally entirely inexperienced, she is credited with acting as the sole pillar of stability for the United States during this time, weathering the brutal 2052 election campaign, the Hindu-Pakistani Nuclear Holocaust, and the crash-landing of Fleet 13. However, she was never truly able to rule competently, and instead the true power behind her administration is widely believed to have been CIA chief Olivander Bright, who himself is believed to have been the last victim of the Vance Conspiracy. Rampersand herself only served a single full term, instead choosing to focus her attention to the relief efforts for the Fleet-13 crash. Rampersand would thus go on to run for the governorship of the Virgin Islands, and her efforts are estimated to have saved the lives of tens of thousands of Aurorans. 
[2056-2060] J.D. Vance (D-Il): Famed for his mob-boss appearance and jolly demeanor, Jimmy Dane Vance was the governor of Illinois, and the third cousin of vanished president Jackson Vance. However, unlike his more centrist cousin, J.D. was unabashedly liberal, implementing a variety of progressive policies during his administration. Unfortunately, it later turned out that his gangsterish look was more than just for show. During the third year of his presidency, Vance was implicated in a criminal corruption ring. His reputation tarnished, Vance would drop out of his next presidential race, and would be sentenced to life in prison the following year.
[2060-2068] Mary Kay Ivy (R-MS): Following the dropping-out of J.D. Vance, the Democratic party floundered, and lost its long string of victories to Mary Kay Ivy, the Junior senator of Mississippi. As head of state, President Ivy set out to restore the tarnished reputation of her party, successfully reforming it into a center-right party of the working class and the people. Mary Kay is widely credited for steering the nation through the economic crash of 2062 and the catastrophic Year of Storms. Her optimism and empathy garnished her the love of many, and a second term. 
[2068-2072] Xavi Lou Mayfield (R-NV): Originally Mary Kay Ivy's vice-president, Xavi Lou Mayfield was President Ivy's chosen successor. Though successful in implementing many of her policy positions -including establishing the Amerindian Autonomous Republics- she was a politician of a quiet demeanor, and was often overshadowed by those around her.
[2072-2076] Tim Gray (D-KT): The former governor of Kentucky, Tim Gray was widely popular in his state for two things: presiding over the state's highly successful eco-democracy transition, and for the creation of the Kentucky Green Rangers Guild. Both of these initiatives gave him the confidence and prominence to run for the presidency, successfully denying Xavi Lou Mayfield a second term. However, he himself would fail to live up to the expectations of others. Many of the initiatives he had implemented in Kentucky failed to take hold in the other states, and by the time election season had rolled around, his approval had slumped significantly, and he was subsequently unseated. 
[2076-2080] Fernando Hernandez (R-TX): An enterprising entrepreneur, Fernando Hernandez swept the Republican Party by storm with his lofty promises of economic reform. However, not a year after he took office, the Phoenix Revolution overthrew the Communist Party in China, resulting in a global economic collapse. The subsequent chaos undermined Hernandez's promises of profit, and when it came out that he had secretly supported the CCP in an attempt to stabilize his own position, his approval plummeted into the dirt. 
[2080-2084]: Marion Davis (R-ND): The former Secretary of State, Marion Davis successfully beat Fernando Hernandez in the Republican Party Primary, but having only ever run on a platform of stability, Davis too would be undone by chaos. The outbreak of the Oriental Wars in the Middle-East was not Davis's fault of course, but his inability to bring peace tarnished his reputation as a statesman and a diplomat. Having failed in his promises, he decided that he did not have the right to stand for another term. However, he was surprisingly re-hired by the highly technocratic Sakellaroupoulou administration, and placed in charge of America's Middle-East affairs. Though originally doubtful of his own ability to bring peace, he later found that being able to focus on the Middle-East and the Middle-East alone was just what he needed. Historians today view his presence in the negotiating room as a vital to bringing peace. Though known for his mediocre term in office at home, he is widely beloved in Oman, where his efforts to bring democracy have earned him a place among the nation's heroes. 
[2084-2088] Maria Sakellaroupoulou (D-NY): An infamously diligent journalist, Maria Sakellaroupoulou only ran out of spite. Never expecting to win, she instead used her newfound position to greatly strengthen the rights of journalists, freedom of speech, and civil rights. Implementing several successful anti-corruption reforms, she was widely popular, and highly successful in her lone term in office. Willingly stepping down after her tenure was complete, she would later go on to become UN Secretary General, and an advocate for free speech and democracy worldwide. 
[2088-2092] Hime Ayyaayyaa (R-MI): Former Michigan House Representative Hime Ayyaayyaa is known for being the first mage-president of the United States, the the only one so far (though former grandmaster Camille Maxime did at one point run in the Democratic Party Primary, against Okana Lang). A high goblin from Michigan, Hime ran on a libertarian campaign of deregulation and economic growth. Though her time in office saw the creation of millions of new jobs, Ayyaayyaa faced significant difficulties from more conservative factions within her own Republican Party, as well as opposition from Democrats. Having enough of politics, Ayyaayyaa decided not to run for a second term, and instead retired to her workshop in Detroit. 
[2092-2096] Jesus Herrarez (R-PR): A prominent member of the House of Representatives, Jesus Herrarez ran on a campaign of justice reform and technological innovation. After just barely scraping by in the election, Herrarez was... well, he was a president. He was there. Often indecisive and too busy with infighting in his own administration, he failed to live up to the reforms he had promised, and was subsequently primaried. 
[2096-2104] Andreyi Dezhnyov (D-BE): Beating all odds, Andreyi Dezhnyov managed to win the presidency in 2096, and used a loophole in the accession agreement from the American Annexation of Bering to cheat the citizen birth requirement to become president. Though a political outsider, Dezhnyov is credited with aiding in the establishment of the Order of the Four Corners, as well as the re-organization of NATO into the New Horizon Colony Space Program. 
[2104-2110] Timouthy Abernathy (D-MA): Former Defense Secretary Timouthy Abernathy came from a long line of USDMA agents, and while not a mage himself, his time as a DMA scout had earned him enough of a distinguishment to be chosen as a DMA councilmember under Jesus Herrarez. During his time in office, he clashed regularly with DMA Secretary Afton Hex, and was even sacked by him in 2098. However, his career didn't end there, as he was picked to become an aide to Defense Secretary Yulie Brast. However, when Brast was subsequently sacked by Dezhnyov, Abernathy saw his chance, and lobbied him for a promotion. Abernathy then gained renown for his efforts in the expansion of the NATO-NHC Pact. Following this, he jumped into the 2104 Presidential Race, successfully warding off more prominent and experienced politicians in the election. Upon taking office, one of his first acts was to break up the entrenched powers of the USDMA. His longtime grudge realized, he sacked Afton Hex, ending his tenure for the first time since he took office during the Ayyaayyaa administration. However, Abernathy's decision created a power vacuum in the DMA, which would significantly weaken the organization for years to come. The greatest consequence of this was that the crime began to fester, and when the Cult of Spiders initiated its Jan 10th attack, the DMA was completely blindsided. Abernathy was subsequently killed in the attack, along with over 10 thousand Washington citizens. 
[2110-2112] Julia Dane (D-MD): Abernathy's vice-president, Julia Dane was completely unprepared for handling the Jan 10th aftermath. Indecisive and weak, her opponents took advantage of her flailing response to unseat her in the greatest conservative swing in over a hundred years. 
[2112-2120] Harold Kane (R-VA): Thrust into office with a supermajority victory, Kane represented a newly blooming conservative movement in America. Built on fear, anger over Jan 10th, and rampant rhabdophobia, the Kane years were particularly hard for mages in America. Though he likened back to the prosperous years of Mary Kay Ivy, Kane's administration turned out more like that of Mickey Houser, 100 years prior. Under his watch, the Guild Wars erupted in full swing in America. One of these incidents was when the Utah Confederacy Guild launched an unprompted attack on the Cheyenne Peppers Guild, decimating them. The backlash has sparked a war with itself and the Coloradoan Sol Invictus Guild, a brutal conflict that has torn up much of the Rockies, and even spilled into the overworld in events like the Grand Junction Massacre. Though such conflict had been brewing for decades in the underworld, the public nature of the affair resulted in significant backlash on the Kane Administration, and tarnished his reputation for law and order. 
[2120-?] Hannah Charlottenburg (R-MT): Though only a president-elect, Hannah Charlottenburg has already been working day-in-and-day-out to fix the mistakes of the previous administrations. Originally a prosecutor and then Governor of Montana, Charlottenburg has a long history of public service. Intent on bridging the widening hyperpartisan gap in America, she chose Washington Senator Kathrine Northwest as her running mate, creating a dual-party ticket that hasn't been seen since the first Vance Administration. Whether she will be successful during her time in office remains to be seen, but early signs are optimistic.
