September 11, 2001 would be marked as one of the worst days in American history. Four planes had been hijacked by terrorists: two planes flew into the WTC, one plan flew into the White House, and the fourth flew into the Statue of Liberty. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, who were in the White House at the time, were killed. Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dennis Hastert, was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States. Within two days, Hastert had nominated Donald Rumsfeld to be Vice President; he was confirmed by Congress as the 47th Vice President of the United States.
March 1, 2003 was another day for the history books. Three individuals who were students of Hastert when he was a teacher provided evidence that he had molested them. Hastert pleaded guilty, and resigned from the Presidency. Donald Rumsfeld as inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States. Within a month, he had chosen John Ashcroft as the 48th Vice President.
Rumsfeld/Ashcroft, who had been extremely unpopular due to the increased aggression in the Middle East, decided to take manners into their own hands to "prevent the Democrats from fucking everything up" (their words). They did as much as they could that election to prevent likely Democratic voters from voting, resulting in them winning in a landslide.
By 2008, half of the country had been united against the White House. Joe Biden, who had won the Democratic primaries, selected John McCain as his running mate, referring to themselves as the "Unity Ticket". However, on election day, Rumsfeld had planted false evidence on Biden and McCain implicating them in treason, resulting in another "landslide" win for Rumsfeld and Ashcroft.
Constitutionally ineligible for another term, Rumsfeld announced that John Ashcroft would continue to "carry out the necessary agenda of our administration", with Ashcroft announcing the intention of naming Rumsfeld to be Secretary of State.
John Ashcroft and his running mate, Colin Powell, defeated Hillary Clinton and Martin O'Malley after successfully painting them as anti-Semites and "anti-American" with false information.
June 18, 2014 was a day for the history books. After discovering all of the illegal activities done by Rumsfeld and Ashcroft over the past decade, Colin Powell led a military coup against Ashcroft. Powell, who then became Acting President, announced an executive order for snap elections to be held "to put these dark days behind us for good".
Wesley Clark and Jim Webb, on the Democratic ticket, won in a landslide, winning all 538 electoral votes, though there was no true Republican opposition anyway, as most of them had endorsed Clark/Webb anyway. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul ran on the Republican ticket as to avoid the appearance of another "appointed" President.
