**Kevin Arthur Carmichael** is the 47th and current President of the United States. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as Secretary of Magic under 45th President Donald Trump, and was Governor of Idaho from 2012-2016.

Born in Idaho, Carmichael studied at Yale University, becoming a magical researcher. During his time as a magical researcher, he became a leading proponent of the [Republican Tea Party movement], and was elected as a Senator for his home state of Idaho in the 2008 election. Following this, he made a successful bid for Governor of Idaho, which he gained during the 2012 Election and held until his appointment as Secretary of Magical Affairs after the 2016 Election, which he held until the following election in 2020. After backlash against the former President, and his own renowned charisma, he took interim control of the Republican party in 2022. In the following 2024 election, he won against incumbent President Andrew Yang in a narrow victory, losing the popular vote while winning the electoral vote (in a similar fashion to his Republican predecessor).

His presidency has been rife with controversy, such as his refutation of the Brussels Pact initiative, his private donations to the Imperialist cause within the ongoing Chinese Civil War and his appointment of many personal friends in positions within the United States Government which they had no prior experience related to. During his presidency, multiple secessionist groups have risen, such as the New England Minutemen Movement, the California Freedom Alliance and the Deseret Army. He has been ranked by scholars amongst the lowest of all American Presidents.

## Early Life

Kevin Carmichael was born on the 17th of May, 1977. He was the second of three children born to lawyer Gary Carmichael and his wife, Helen Carmichael (née Fitzwilliam). He attended Yale University between 1996 and 2000, before joining the R&D Department at ManaTex, where he befriended his fellow intern Milton Orville (now the CEO of ManaTex). During this time, he became an outspoken political activist, and joined the Republican Party.

## Political Career

### Early Political Involvement

Having joined the Republicans, Carmichael became a prominent leader of the Idahoan conservative youth. Noted for his skills as an orator, he became a figurehead for the Republican Party in 2006 when he was quoted saying that incumbent President George W. Bush was "too weak on the Democrats".

### Senator from Idaho

Carmichael ran successfully to become a Senator from Idaho, narrowly beating Democratic candidate Ryley Miller. During this time, he was vocally opposed to the Obama administration. He held this position until the 2012 election, in which he began a bid for Governor.

### Governor of Idaho

Carmichael won the 2012 Gubernatorial Election in Idaho, becoming the successor to the incumbent Butch Otter.

## Presidency

Carmichael narrowly won the election against Yang, despite only having 33% of the popular vote. He assumed office alongside his running mate, Victor Heppenstall, on January 20th, 2024. His presidency has seen the outbreak of war in China, increased inter-party tensions domestically, and an uptick in politically-motivated violence across the United States.

He currently holds an approval rating of 12.7%, the lowest recorded in American history.

### Political Positions

Carmichael is an outspoken opponent of LGBTQ+ rights, Islam and abortion. While he has described America as "a free land, for all people to enjoy", his administration has launched multiple deportation initiatives which have resulted in the deportation of between 7,500 (the New York Times estimate) and 100,000 (the official estimate) illegal immigrants. An investigation conducted by Reuters found that over 2,500 landed immigrants were also unjustly deported, and a further 1,000 American citizens of foreign birth were deported and stripped of their citizenship. Notably, among those deported was prominent Mexican-American activist Luis Peralez, who had previously spoken out against the Carmichael Administration.
