Snootyferret

## Overview

President Snootyferret, born December 29th, 1967, was the first Libertarian president. Formerly a Republican, his political career as Texas Senator and Senate Majority Leader prompted him into running for president. This he did, switching parties in the process, and he won in a landslide election against the Democrat nominee.

## Entry Into Politics

Snootyferret entered PSUS in May, 2021, as one of its first members. Joining the Republican Party, he was its most active senator, winning both the positions of Texas senator and Senate Majority Leader. As a mod, he was especially positioned to be very active throughout his career.

## Senator of Texas

As a senator, he had several momentous achievements, including the defunding of the FDA, the abolition of the TANF welfare program, the protection of pro-life pregnancy centers and implementing abortion accountability initiatives, the repeal of the Patriot Act, and ending all foreign aid to the World Bank, among others. He was a vicious opponent of the PRO Act, which he attempted to stop from passing, and then worked tirelessly to see it repealed in a more right-leaning Congress.

Upon assuming the position he helped pass various laws, voting for the Lowering Federal Taxes Bill, the Repealing Affordable Healthcare Act, the The Decriminalization of Recitational Cannabis Act, the Criminalization of Lobbying Bill, the Repealing of Several Gun Laws, the Repealing of the PRO Act, and the Ending of Government Intervention Act. Additionally, he voted for both the Bill to Create a Federal Stand Your Ground Law, and the Energy Replacement Act, though they both failed. SnootyFerret Co-Wrote the Prison System Reform Act, the Organic Ingenuity Act, the Choose Life Act, and the Income Independence Act; as well as being the sole author of the Mongar Bill, WBG Loan Cancellation Act, Bill to Repeal the Patriot Act, and finally the Gaza Strip Sanctioning Act, all of these passing.

## Candidate for the 2028 Presidential Election

In 2028, Snootyferret ran for the Republican presidential nomination, losing to Senator CommanderRepublican of California by one vote. Switching to the Libertarian Party upon his former party’s swing, Snootyferret united the right under him in one ticket, with a cabinet of right-wing politicians. On Election Day, he won a total of 329 electoral votes compared to his opponents, Plastic-Ramen and Caelus9, who won 160 and 49, respectively. He was sworn in the following January, becoming the first Libertarian candidate to win the presidency.

## Leader of the Executive Branch

### Time in Power

As president, Snootyferret was plagued with a mounting crisis in Governor Warywarg of Arizona. In several declarations, the governor proposed a monarchial system where he would have supreme power in the state. The conflict between the two heightened following a leak by an anonymous cabinet member that suggested that the Secretary of the Interior wished to entrap the governor, a crime. At the urging of the president, Secretary Chadharnav resigned. Later, the state of Arizona erupted into violence, in which the president saw to it that the governor was protected from the mob and the crowd peacefully dispersed. The final culmination of the Warywarg situation came when he declared independence from the union, attacked national soldiers, and declared nuclear war on Mexico. As Commander-in-Chief, President Snootyferret prevented the dropping of the bomb on Mexico City, put down a military mutiny by the Coast Guard, which had been swayed to the side of the governor temporarily, and ended his governorship. Following a brief period of occupation by the National Guard of California and Delaware Union Army, which was put down by the president, Snootyferret named Canuk69420 Interim Governor of Arizona. Thus, the President solved what could have been a close call with disaster.

### Legislation

On the legislative side, the President proposed numerous bills to Congress, many of which were put into law by the Senate. One of his crowning accomplishments was in the economic sector, as he abolished the Federal Reserve System and implemented a temporary pause on the U.S. Mint’s currency production to stop inflation. With the Midwest undergoing a record drought, the President proposed private solutions for the current and all future droughts. He provided a 20-year nuclear energy plan to encourage the production of nuclear plants and research into fusion technologies. He also repealed the Espionage Act of 1917 and abolished the Department of the Interior in his final act. He also signed into law a bolstering of the Navy, the prohibition of homophobic and transphobic gay panic defense, abolished the practice of conscription, and made criminal enslavement illegal. One of his points of pride was that he only used the power of executive orders once: to encourage and pardon whistleblowers, including the notable Edward Snowden.

### Resolution

His presidential term, however, was cut short upon his advancement of Proposal Ten, which abolished an additional three departments, the CIA, NSA, the Social Security program, the Medicaid and Medicare programs, the FDA, the CDC, the TSA (an agency he later believed in strongly later in life), the EPA, and restricting NASA funding. Though it passed, the outrage against both the new bill and himself was so tremendous that he and Vice President The1776er resigned, leaving Secretary of State Salty\_Hospital7559 as President.

## Supreme Court

Following SnootyFerret's presidential resignation, President Salty\_Hospital7559 nominated the Former President to the Supreme Court, where he heard only one case before resigning, citing personal matters. This had come after Chief Justice Awobbie, nominated by Snootyferret while President, recommended him.
