History of American Presidents

The United States of America has had a number of presidents in recent months. Here is a list of those individuals and their accomplishments

## RamenBoy21 - Sep. 2020 - Oct. 2020

RamenBoy21 was the first president of the United States and took office following the nation's first democratic elections on September 1st, 2020. His party, the New Democratic Coalition, or NDC, won this election by a landslide with no serious opposition, aside from IronnBread and his Turkey Party. Ramen won with around 80% of the popular vote. His vice president, Adoubs, became the first vice president of the United States.

Ramen's presidency would see the nation be set on its path to global hegemony that it sees today. Under Ramen, new towns and new members would arrive slowly but surely. Only a few towns sprung up during his presidency, like Richmond and Seattle, but new members flocked to the nation. Ramen also oversaw the bolstering of the nation's democracy, as the senate was created, as well as the supreme court.

However, Ramen's presidency ended in crisis. At the request of the exiled Danish king, TheBigSal\_ (a.k.a. Sal) I, Ramen sent the US military to bomb Danish rebels in Greenland. The operation was a disaster, with near total failure on the part of the United States. This caused Sal to abandon Denmark and move to Richmond. This combined with Ramen's general reputation as a warmonger and a militarist caused him not to seek reelection and endorse his vice president, Adoubs.

## Election of October 2020

Due to Ramen's unpopularity and reputation as a warmonger, he did not seek reelection, and so Adoubs would be the heir apparent for the NDC. Once again, they faced no real opposition, apart from the White Dove Party led by Baum. This election was a landslide for Adoubs, with him winning 77% of the popular vote. Adoubs would become the second president of the United States. Adoubs was also a member of the NDC, but managed to annihilate Baum in the election, winning 77% of the vote. His running mate, Witches\_, became the second vice president of the United States.

## Adoubs - Oct. 2020 - Dec. 2020 (FIRST TERM)

Adoubs' presidency would see the foundations laid by Ramen previously developed into a skyscraper. Under Adoubs, the nation skyrocketed in members with new towns popping up left and right. The nation also reached 100 members under Adoubs, and his party was solidified as having a monopoly on politics in the nation. This, however, would not last. Many new parties emerged, such as the Federalist Party, led by KenCONN, and the Liberty Initiative, led by Laika2 and TheBigSal\_. Adoubs would even see approval, albeit reluctant, from these groups, as meaningful opposition to the NDC was virtually impossible.

Adoubs would lead the nation into war with the Kingdom of Rajavansa, the Kyirzhait Khanate and Korea over a minor land dispute, as well as evidence of foreign powers infiltrating the United States government. This war would drag on for multiple weeks, and would eventually grow to be deeply unpopular. Adoubs, under pressure from Congress and drained from the war, decided to make peace with Rajavansa. This enraged Ramen, now Secretary of Defense, who ejected Adoubs from the party. It is here where a large portion of the NDC follows Adoubs to his new party, the American Democratic Party (ADP).

## Election of December 2020

The ADP would hold its own semi-elections as to who to choose for Adoubs' running mate. There were three choices; incumbent vice president Witches, who was seen as having the advantage but was generally disliked due to his scandal with the government, UniqueSpace, someone seen as a suitable replacement for Witches who would please the party establishment, and Sal, a candidate not in the ADP itself, but was known for his excellent speaking skills and fierce loyalty to the government. The vote was tied between Witches and Sal and, after an intense rap battle (I am not kidding. There really was a rap battle to decide Adoubs' vice president. This is completely serious), Sal came out on top, to the displeasure of Witches and to the surprise of many. The reason for doing so is so Adoubs and Sal could stylize themselves as a coalition ticket of the ADP and LI to easily sweep the vote.

The ADP-LI ticket faced stiff competition this time around from two different directions. The first, Ramen and the remnants of the NDC, with his running mate Awsomebuilder23. The next was an independent candidate, RoomService, from the Free Men, and his running mate, JamessV. Room saw extremely high approval from his home state, but low support almost everywhere else.

Even with the odds against them, Adoubs managed to shore up enough support from both sides of the coalition and, after several incidents of election fraud were discovered and quickly and controversially dealt with, Adoubs won the election with 53% of the vote (18 votes). Ramen came in second, with 32% (11 votes), and Room came in third with 15% (5 votes). Sal became the third vice president of the United States.

Ramen has criticized Room as a spoiler, whereas Room has criticized Adoubs for throwing out votes for him, which were shown to be fraudulent. These votes were filed under the names of inactive players and, interestingly, not backed by Room himself, and so the government suspects it could be the work of a foreign power trying to destabilize the election process. This election did several things; one, it marks the first time that three different serious parties were on the ballot and recieved a good share of the vote. Two, it showed that third party candidates could make a decent showing, which will likely persuade Room to pursue the White House again in the next election. Third, it showed that the NDC had finally split. It seems that around 60-65% of the party followed Adoubs to the ADP, leaving Ramen significantly disadvantaged for the next election, but not out entirely.

## Adoubs - Dec. 2020 - Feb. 2021 (SECOND TERM)

Adoubs' second term is currently under way. This section will be updated as more information becomes available.

## Election of February 2021 - Predictions and What to Expect

The February Election should prove to be very interesting. Adoubs, having served his two terms, will be unable to run again. While he would still be in charge of and have the sole power to choose the nominee for the ADP, the party's main unifying figure would be politically dead. This means another candidate could take the nomination, like Former VP Witches, Representative merrycherryy, Representative jaxthejedi or maybe a minor figure like Azure or CynoDead. Ramen and the NDC is likely to return and capitalize on the weakened ADP, as is Room, who, it would not be out of the question to say, may create his own party and try to net support outside of his home state. Sal has also expressed interest in a potential presidential run for the Liberty Initiative, provided his colleague Laika is willing to be his running mate. Sal has said that this potential run would depend on how successful his vice presidency is, but it is not unfeasible to say he could see broad support amongst those who wish to see the political scene be shaken up a bit. It's also possible the ADP doesn't run a candidate at all and either endorses a different candidate. If they do not endorse anyone, it would be a free-for-all for Sal, Ramen and Room to appeal to former ADP voters. In short, with Adoubs out of the picture, the ADP will be weakened and if they do not run in this election, the other candidates will have to jockey for their support. Sal and Ramen are likely to be successful in this. Sal having been Adoubs' vice president and being seen as a nice change of pace for America, while Ramen could reabsorb the ADP's voters into his own bloc to defeat Sal.
