He was President of 2 Vice Presidents and 3 House Speakers being the first to ever oversee over multiple Vice Presidents and House Speakers in one term. He was also the first President of Fredonia to serve non consecutively and first to be President during 2 Eras. He was the first President to also die in office.

## Early Life

Ferdinand Marcus was born Ferdinand Marcus y Edralinus in Rome, Grand Regnum, he eventually moved to Fredonia after the fall of the Grand Regnum Romanorum due to sacking of Roman Imperialists. He was adopted by the Former Owner of the Republic of Discord, a neighboring Nation, and he was known to be a childish but smart kid in the Family. He eventually moved permanently on Fredonia and was not very active on the Republic of Discord anymore. He attended University in the Maine University where he met former Roman Citizens from the Regnum and decided to pursue a career in Politics together.

## Politics

He was first elected to the Colonial Congress on July 30, but immediately to the President of the Colonial Congress due to the assassination of Rumolus Romuli, the President of the Colonial Congress when he was elected to the Colonial Congress. But he did not like he's current position and held a referendum if the people want a centralized and National Head of State, 67% of the population voted in favor and so the Executive Branch was born. He was selected the first President and proclaimed the creation of the ''Republic of Fredonia'', appointing Cinz Teddy as Vice President and Bida Mexico as Secretary of State.

## Presidency

During he's presidency oversaw a massive growth of population and land of Fredonia and the addition of 3 more states, he also finished the first ever Constitution of Fredonia on August 8 which went on effect immediately, he made the legislature a bicameral system which is now known today and formed the Supreme Court and wrote the ''Checks and Balances'' to prevent a tyrant to become President. But as he's presidency got longer, the government was losing members and was becoming ineffective and he gradually had Supreme Control and the ''Checks and Balances'' was becoming ineffective. That was until Cinz Teddy resigned and Colton Sykes was appointed Vice President, Colton Sykes though was a vocal critic of Ferdinand Marcus and when he was mistakenly given the position it opened more opportunity for Colton to take the Presidency since Ferdinand was becoming tyrannical.

## End of the 1st Marcus Term

Ferdinand Marcus's 1st Term came to a abrupt end on August 16, when the Convention of Geneva deposed him for War Criminal charges in the ''Battle of Carolina'' when he declared war on Colton Sykes's UCCS due to him thinking the UCCS would invade Fredonia. Although he was victorious he surrendered himself and faced the trials alongside with Sam Lingus who also partake in the attack, he was forced to resign for 4 Days and was put in prison for 4 Days, after he's 1st Term's abrupt end, Colton Sykes became President and launched a project called ''Business First'' which increased businesses and economic reforms we're made.

## Prison Life

Although he was put into prison, he's treatment in Prison wasn't harsh, it was actually luxurious and the guards treated him as they're King. He would also manage the country from Prison since he was technically still in control since he was appointed as President Pro Tempore by Senate since both President and Vice President we're not relatively that active. He was in charge of Border Security, Security Reforms and would manage Foreign Affairs too. So even though he was in prison he would manage the country every now and then. He was released on August 20, 2021 and announced he's candidacy to the Presidential Election of August 20, 2021

## August 20, 2021 Election
