Wes Moore

From Wikimerica, the United States encyclopedia

**Wesley Watende Omari Moore** (June 3, 2025 - September 26, 2110) was an American politician who served 69th President of the United States from 2081 to 2089. He also served as a Congressman from 2059 to 2067. He was the final President from the Republican party before it's collapse.

# Early Life

Wes Donald Moore was born in 2025 to an upper-class family in Texas. In high school, he would be exemplary in most of his studies, exceptionally in the realm of social studies. In which there would be very few semesters in which he wouldn't get A+'s. This would see him successfully be admitted into Harvard University, where he would obtain a law degree in 2050. Following this, he would work at a law firm for the next eight years, until he would decide to run for the US House of Representatives in 2058.

As someone born into a relatively wealthy family, Moore believed that the rich were the backbone for the country, and therefore advocated for taxes to be low on them, despite the fact that the US was at war, in his campaign. He would be successful in unseating incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Cosmic, and was inaugurated as a Congressman in 2059.

# Time in Congress=

In Congress, Moore would develop a close relationship with Republican Whip Ronald Duke, which would leave him susceptible to following party lines and cause him to develop hard line stances over the course of Congressional tenure; Moore grew to hate foreigners and blame them for all of the United States's struggles. He strongly opposed any attempt by President Joe Kennedy to establish grant land occupied by the US any type of self-governance, including the compromise created by Secretary of State Vincent Kiran. and always advocated for high military spending, whilst not raising the necessary taxes to pay for such.

When Walter Copan was elected President in 2064, Moore not only supported him, yet was seemingly unphased by his corrupt method of being elected, saying that Republican nominee Vincent Kiran was "unfit to serve the party" and making the claim that many Kiran voters voted for him merely due to there being no hard line alternative; with this train of thought, Moore declared the election of President Copan to be a "success of the electoral college" and thus opposed the amendment reforming it in addition to Copan's impeachment.

## Re-Election Defeat

These hard line stances from Moore would see him come under fire in the Midterm Election of 2066, as there would be a heated race between him and Democratic candidate Justin Nu. The final results of the election would see Moore obtaining 39% of the vote and Nu obtaining 61%, thus causing Moore to lose his Congressional seat.

# Post House Activities

Following his defeat in 2066, Moore would become embittered with the state of the country. He lost the Texas Gubernatorial primaries in 2070, and considered most of the federal government's actions to be harmful. He considered the Kiran Administration to be mediocre at best, disliking the treaty which President Vincent Kiran promised to uphold; while Kiran was mediocre in Moore's eyes, however, his successor, President Richard Ojeda, would be someone who Moore would consider outright dangerous.

Moore detested Ojeda's far-left platform and thus declared a campaign for Senator in 2078 to oppose it. While he was able to win in the primaries due to appealing to Republicans' fears of Ojeda, he would ultimately lose to Democratic candidate Walt Michael.

# Presidential Campaign

In 2079, Moore's fear of the direction US politics was taking came to a peak with what he referred to as the "West Africa Crisis." Over the course of the previous year, the Republic of West Africa had been bolstering its military and conducting operations near the American State of Liberia, which made Moore fear that a declaration of war that the United States wasn't ready for was on the horizon. Because of this, he declared his candidacy for President in 2080 and vowed to protect the United States from West Africa. Since he was more knowledgeable on this subject than all other Republican candidates, he easily won the primary and became the party's nominee for President. In the Presidential Election, Moore accused Ojeda of being the most dangerous man in US politics and criticized him for being weak in regards to the West Africa situation. This campaign would see Moore successfully unseat Ojeda and win the Presidency.

# Presidency (2081-2089)

## First Term

### Inauguration

Wes Moore was inaugurated as President at 12:00 PM at the East Portico of the Capital.

### American-West African War

Using Republicans' control of Congress, President Moore successfully declared war on West Africa early on in his Presidency. Due to the fact that he refused to increase taxes, however, this would see the debt of the United States increase drastically.

## Second Term

### 2084 Presidential Election

In the Presidential Election of 2084, Moore would face former Vice President Ben Dominic for the Presidency. While Dominic was critical of Moore's foreign policy, citing the damage it had done to American domestic affairs, Moore cited how the government programs established under the Ojeda Administration, despite the fact that he found them to be a burden, were still minimally functioning and thus declared his Presidency good for domestic affairs. Despite the fact that he provided no evidence of the American people's lives improving. Furthermore, he cited Dominic's recent political career as evidence of him being a puppet of Ojeda and not fit to lead the nation himself. This campaign would see Moore win a second term in office.

### West African Defeat

In Moore's second term, however, the War in West Africa would become less promising than it initially; the morale of US soldiers was low and the West African military was obtaining several key victories that was pushing the US back.

### Attempt to run for a Third Term

Because of this, Moore decided that he would need a third term in office to ensure that his candidacy was successful, and so he declared that he would run for such. Due to the unconstitutionality of his attempt at a third term, he attempted to amend the constitution to repeal the 22nd Amendment. He had hoped to have it completed before the start of his third term assuming he won re-election.

In the election of 2088, he would face opposition from his former opponent, Richard Ojeda, who criticized him of being incompetent with the military, in addition to his plans with what to do with West Africa following a victory. Moore advocated for the US to completely annex West Africa following the war and forcefully assimilate it into American culture. Ojeda, however, alleged that it would be better to simply help the people of West Africa economically and to turn it something closer into a first-world country via Wilsonian policy. While Moore would be more popular than Ojeda in the Presidential Election, they would both end up splitting the vote and granting a third party candidate who wanted to pull out of West Africa entirely, Nationalist nominee Raymundo Cardona, the victory in the Presidential Election.

# Post Presidency (2089-2110)

Following the Moore Administration, the American people lost faith in the Republican Party. Due to Moore's extremism, the American people could no longer associate with it, and thus, this issue combined with split votes with Democratic candidates, it would become a minor party by 2091 and would cease political operations by 2092. Following his loss of the Presidency, Moore would retire from politics; he would be the last Republican to ever hold the office of President of the United States.

## Death

Wes Moore would die in his home during the events of Doomsday.
