Alexander Turpin

**Alexander John Turpin** (November 12, 1980 -) was an American politician, businessman and activist who was the 48th President of the United States of America from January 20 2029 to January 20 2033, as well as the Republican nominee in the 2024 and 2028 Presidential Elections.

Turpin's political career started in 2012 with the election of George Zander to the presidency, Turpin followed on the back of the Republican political upset to become the Republican junior senator for Florida as part of the Tea Party movement and won re-election in 2018. During the 2024 general election, Turpin was voted out of office as the Democratic party swept to control of both the White House and the Senate. However, Turpin was able to secure the nomination of the Republican party for the Florida governor election in 2026 and successfully won election, despite overall republican losses in Congress. In early 2028, Turpin announced his candidacy for president on a campaign pledge to override the Twenty Eighth Amendment ban on bearing arms. Despite a tight race for the Republican nomination, Turpin ultimately secured the party's backing and narrowly beat President Selina Meyer in the electoral collage, despite loosing the popular vote.

During his presidency, Turpin sought to freeze many of the left-wing policies implemented by the preceding administration using executive orders. As part of his campaign pledge to "*Believe in a better America*", President Alexander Turpin initiated the process of repealing the Twenty Eighth Amendment in July 2029, but repeatedly had the process hindered by congress. The Turpin administration was particularly notable for engaging in a trade war with the Fox Dynasty in a complete U-turn on previous American policy; the trade war ultimately damaged the US economy further as the nation struggled to recover from the 2027 Global Banking Crisis, leading to a series of funding crises and three government shutdowns in 2030 revolving around the administration's flagship United America Recovery Bill of 2030. Investigations into the United America Recovery Bill discovered that provisions existed to allow the Republican party to avoid paying certain levels of taxation - in response, the House of Representatives formally opened articles of impeachment against President Turpin in November 2031. Despite ultimately not being sentenced by the Senate, which Republicans held a thin majority in, President Turpin's administration became increasingly bogged down by the trial and subsequent resignations of Republican senators after the administration attempted to pass the Filibuster Act in early 2032.

Following high profile disagreements with Vice President Mike Pence, the Republican party nominated Daniel Borne for the vice presidential candidacy in 2032, alongside Turpin who easily won the party presidential nomination. Turpin lost the 2032 presidential election to former president Selina Meyer, making Turpin the second person in U.S. history to be preceded and succeeded as president by the same person, the first being President Benjamin Harrison. Upon leaving the White House, Alexander Turpin largely retired from American politics and took up the leadership of the Turpin Foundation charitable fund. Turpin is generally regarded as being a below average president, notable for his impeachment and failed trade war policies, as well as the historical oddity of having his presidency surrounded by those of Selina Meyer.

## History

Growing up in 1980s Florida under the Presidency of Ronald Reagan, Alexander Turpin was born into a middle class family alongside his brother Mathew Turpin and attended school in his local county before graduating from Yale University in 2003 and entering the world of business using his father's connections to secure him a position at EuroCorp as an executive within the finances division whilst the company was led by CEO Jurgen Otto. Following Otto's decision to step down in 2010, Turpin left the organisation to become a campaigner for the Republican party and the Tea Party movement within the political entity, winning election to the United States Senate in 2012 on the back of a wave of Republican support, and he stayed within the senate for 12 years, winning re-election in 2018 before having his political hopes dashed by the fall in support for the Republicans following the end of Simon Walker's presidency in 2024. Returning back to the world of business following his defeat, Turpin went to work for Xero Energy between 2025 and 2026, becoming a Representative for the Florida again in the 2026 mid-terms despite an overwhelming tilt towards the Democrats during the Presidency of Selina Meyer. Alexander Turpin went on to archive the 2028 Republican nomination with the Turpin campaign and with Daniel Borne as Vice President, fighting off his brother Mathew and Mitt Romney for the candidacy, going on to win the 2028 Election by a tight majority, aided by public dissatisfaction with President Meyer's handling of the fallout surrounding the abolition of the second amendment as well as the economic disaster of the 2027 Global Banking Crisis.

## Presidency

 Vice President

Assuming the Presidency in 2029, Turpin set about freezing most of the left-wing policies implemented by President Meyer and played heavily into the nationalist rhetoric of his campaign, asking his supporters to "*Believe in a better America*" as Turpin set about repealing the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution (the repeal of the 2nd Amendment) before engaging in a trade war with the Libirachi Empire which largely damaged the US economy further as the nation struggled to recover from the 2027 Global Banking Crisis before a series of funding crises and three government shutdowns in 2030 revolving around the United America Recovery Bill of 2030 led to the Impeachment of Alexander Turpin on November 10, 2031; despite not being sentenced by the Senate, which Republicans held a thin majority in and ultimately acquitted Turpin on January 13, 2032, President Turpin's administration became increasingly bogged down by the trial and subsequent resignations of Republican senators after the administration attempted to pass the Filibuster Act in early 2032, leading to Democrats taking the majority in the Senate in the run up to the 2032 United States presidential election, which President Turpin lost to President Meyer, making Turpin the second person in U.S. history, the first being President Benjamin Harrison, to be preceded and succeeded as president by the same person.

Starting off with a majority in the House of Representatives, this majority dissipated by the time of the 2032 Election, thanks to a series of botched attempts to reverse the 28th Amendment to the US constitution and frequent tax raises to pay for revitalising the US Army with weaponry purchased from the Libirachi Empire. Coming into loggerheads with the Congress over funding and arms sales on multiple occasions, President Turpin was criticised by many within his own party, as well as worldwide, for his poor handling of a spate of mass shootings in 2031, and many Republican senators either defected or resigned in protest. In the House of Representatives too, the Republican party turned against Turpin and a Democrat motion to impeach Turpin passed through the House of Representatives, although the Senate declined to sentence him and as such, Turpin returned to office in April 2032 before loosing the November election to President Meyer.
