### 2015 and 2016 Presidential Elections

Taking advantage of his recognition and popularity, Hewett ran for the Democratic Party Presidential Nomination in the first ever Presidential Election. He was successful in gaining the nomination, and later won the General Election 2015, holding the majority of electoral college votes required in-order to become president. He achieved this once again in 2016, and won re-election to a second term.

### Sarah Bennett Controversy and Kidnapping

There was a major controversy when it was thought that the then President would be withdrawing Groupy McGroupface from the Unified Nations and shutting off trade with many surrounding countries and group chats, and threatening war with others.

It was later revealed that these actions were being manipulated by Sarah Bennett, who had also kidnapped the then president from under the guard of the secret service.

Bennett was then shot by police and Hewett released, immediately reversing all motions passed under Bennett and beginning emergency peace talks in-order to prevent a war from taking place.

In the 2018/19 Groupy McGroupface Presidential Elections, he endorsed Governor Jed Bartlet in the Democratic Party Presidential Primary. Bartlet was successful in clinching the nomination, and later went on to win the General Election as well,
