## Life

### **2010 Senate Run**

On April 6th, 2010, Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy for senate of California. His campaign was mainly held in Los Angeles and San Diego. Most pollsters had him losing by several points in this reliably democrat area but on election night, Schwarzenegger had an astounding win.

### **2011-13 Senate Career**

At-the-time-Senator Schwarzenegger introduced his first piece of legislation called the "Bipartisan Schools Act" which allowed parents to ask for school lessons to be recorded. This was supported by a good majority of Americans and narrowly passed in both the House and Senate. In the senate, he surprisingly voted in favor of acquitting Sebastian Rubio during his impeachment, saying that "This happened a long time ago and we need to move onward to more important issues."

**2012 Presidential Run**

Schwarzenegger announced his campaign after President Rubio failed to react quickly to the ongoing Hurricane on the East Coast. Schwarzenegger was one of the first people to call the President out, asking him to please act quickly, and it gave him a lot of popularity in the media which boosted his presidential run.

The Republican primaries were between Senator Schwarzenegger, Nathan Garcia, and Greaves, the 2008 Independent candidate. After a new system of voting that came out seemed suspicious, Greaves quickly dropped out of the race claiming that it would be rigged and he would lose. After this, it was a close race in-between Nathan Garcia and Schwarzenegger. It seemed like the primary could go on for a long time so Schwarzenegger held a private meeting with Nathan Garcia and Nathan Garcia agreed to drop out of the race and become Schwarzenegger's running mate.

There was another person running for the presidency as an independent, Adam Spice, who was a left wing centrist. His campaign was very similar to Greaves' in 2008 and resulted in the democrat vote being split in a swing state where Adam Spice campaigned a lot, Pennsylvania. And numerous other states.

Senator Schwarzenegger, President Rubio, and Spice faced off in multiple presidential debates. All of which, it was widely believed that Schwarzenegger won easily. At the time, President Rubio, was around 83 years old and Schwarzenegger pointed out his old age in the debate multiple times, calling him "senile" and in multiple campaigns saying that he probably couldn't even wipe his own butt.

On November 8, 2012, Schwarzenegger received 347 electoral votes versus 165 for incumbent President Rubio and 33 for Adam Spice. He also won the popular vote, getting 54% nationwide.

### **First Term (2013-2017)**

On President Schwarzenegger's first few days, he legalized cannabis fully in all US states and territories. He also fully legalized gay marriage during his term saying, "I fully disagree with it morally but this should not be a time for the government to step in and tell you who and who not you can marry." He also introduced and signed a bill that made a donation-funded southern border wall program. He also supported and signed DC statehood, and later advocated for Mariana Island and Guam to be combined and become a state and also for the Virgin Islands to join the state of Puerto Rico.

There was also an assassination attempt where Schwarzenegger was shot and sent to the hospital for several days and CyberBlue became the acting president. After an investigation, it is revealed that the attempt on his life was planned and carried out by the 2008 Independent Presidential Candidate and longtime rival of the President, Greaves. Greaves was sent to jail and remains there to this day with a life sentence.

On July 13th, 2013, China struck down Air Force One. Schwarzenegger responded saying that he would keep his promise he made on the campaign trail, "I will not intentionally start wars but if someone attacks our country you can expect them to receive that attack tenfold." Schwarzenegger hoped to end the war calmly by sending missiles full of counterfeit Chinese currency to Beijing, this did seem to slow China down but once more allies joined to help China, Schwarzenegger send troops through Australia and South Korea. After a few months, Schwarzenegger is declared the winner, gaining half of China as a new territory.

**2016 Presidential Election**

President Schwarzenegger ran against Barack Obama in the 2016 election, winning in a landslide after Barack Obama made comments about bombing and droning innocent people. He was one of the first republicans to win California and Oregon in a long time.

**Second Term (2013-2017)**In his second term he work towards defeating COVID-19, and a vaccine was found under his administration. He was widely regarded as very good with his COVID-19 response, locking down travel from countries very quickly.

**California Governor**

After leaving office in early 2021, President Schwarzenegger ran for Californian governor in 2022. He won the race by a few points, expanding by his margin that he won California by back in 2016. He was governor at the time of the San Andreas Great Earthquake that killed around 20,000 people. He and President Thomas Clinton handled the earthquake together and both were praised for their handling.
