Omarosa Sandoval

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).

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".

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 (as they said he was not experienced enough, in addition to propping up established Presidential etiquette which Sandoval claimed was harmful).

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 (due to the increased Liberty presence in both houses) and would be mostly supportive of President Henry Doss.

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%.

Sandoval, however, would not give up. Seeing the Commawatch Party once again control Congress, Sandoval would use this to his advantage, making 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 and the nation, as a result, being 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 2260, he would use this newfound popularity to declare a new Presidential run, in which he would easily win the Liberty Party primaries (especially since the traditional members of the party all split the vote, allowing Sandoval to win the primaries by a landslide).

In the Presidential Election, Sandoval would accuse incumbent Commawatch President Theodore Vogel of being too obsessed with tradition to adequately help the American people; he said that he blindly signed too many bills in fear of the veto, and that had America possessed a President who was not "afraid of executive authority", it would be in a better position. Sandoval promised, in his campaign, that he would veto all bills which would see the federal government overreach, and that he would use "any and all other powers necessary" to "halt federal expansion". Given the moderate, civil political climate at the time, many would view Sandoval's rhetoric and plan as too radical, and President Vogel would thus win the popular vote (although, by a close margin). Despite this, however, Sandoval would win a majority in the electoral college, and would thus become President.

The Sandoval Administration would utilize the most Presidential power since the Imperialist regime of Emperor Thorton (as he dissolved President Vogel's Bipartisan Executive Office and assumed Presidential power directly). Sandoval would fulfill on his campaign promise to veto bills which he viewed as government overreach, including those which the Joint Negotiations Committee (responsible for organizing compromise between the Commawatch and Liberty Congressmen, in addition to compromise between the Senate and House) determined the final draft of. Additionally, he attempted to blackmail Congress (particularly the Senate, which the Commawatch Party still possessed a majority in) 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".

In May of 2261, 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 October of 2261, 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.

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 (whom had already become incredibly weary, cautious, and fearful of the President) enacted the 25th Amendment to declare Sandoval unfit for office and render Vice President Pendergast as Acting President.

In 2262, 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 January 20, 2262, exactly one year after he first swore to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution; his impeachment would establish the precedent that violating the US Constitution was an impeachable offense.

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 8 years following his impeachment, on July 4, 2270.
