Cevolian - House of Clinton
2009-2010: Barack Obama/Joe Biden (Democratic)
After the maverick young Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton the Democratic Nomination it was widely expected he would name her Secretary of State if he won the Presidency, and yet this did not transpire... Seeming outwardly accepting Clinton through herself into her Senatorial work, quickly emerging as the DNC's go to to run the campaign for Joe Biden's old Senate seat in Delaware. Seeming to relish in this and her husband's work for the Clinton foundation, she seemed to be entirely over her failure to gain high office and had converted to a loyal acolyte to President Obama. When Joe Biden decided in 2010 to resign as VP (citing the fact that he was "totally frozen out - a load of absolute malarkey") and to regain his Senate seat in the Special Election, she was the natural choice of VP.
2010-2013: Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton (Democratic)
2013-2015: Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton (Democratic)
2012 def - Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan (Republican)
Clinton slotted into her new role perfectly, balancing the ticket even better than Biden had and drawing conderiable national name recognition and support. The two cruised to victory, especially after rumours surfaced amongst journalists for Politico that Romney's company "Bain Capital" had acquired money from Salvadorean Death Squads, as well as questions about Paul Ryan's health when his family history of heart attacks was made public. For two years the Clinton's were the ideal second couple, especially as the Obama marriage began to deteriorate over allegations of infidelity. Then, in 2015, the worst occurred - a witness appeared on the scene who seemed to be able to prove that Barack Obama had been born in Kenya as many had claimed - unable to dispel the rumours any longer and with evidence mounting Obama reluctantly resigned to "save my party and my family". The Kenyan birth certificate provided later was proven to be false, and the witness testimony is highly dubious at best.
2015-2017: Hillary Clinton/Mark Warner (Democratic)
2017-2021: Hillary Clinton/Mark Warner (Democratic)
2016 def - Ted Cruz/Ben Carson (Republican), Donald Trump/Steve Bannon (Independent)
Hillary Clinton sought to restore dignity to America as she emerged as President and appointed Virginian Mark Warner as her Vice President, facing off against Ted Cruz and Ben Carson in the 2016 election only for her old friend Donald Trump to make a run from the right, split the Republican vote and hand her a landslide. Here everything began to fall apart, as allegations of misconduct from both Clinton's surfaced again, as well as claims she had played a role in Obama's downfall. The invasion of Syria in 2018 to deal with "Daesh" quickly dealt with these worries for a while, but also generated outrage from many on the left of her party and leading to a break away faction to form around Bernie Sanders for the 2020 election in 2019.
2021-2022: Mark Warner/Hillary Clinton (Democratic) - acting
2020 def - Hillary Clinton/Mark Warner (Democratic), Tom Cotton†/Mike R. Pence (Republican), Bernie Sanders/Elizabeth Warren (Independent "Democrats")
2022-2022: Hillary Clinton/vacant (Democratic) - acting
Whilst Clinton won a popular vote victory in 2020 the Electoral College was tied, with the electoral vote tally sitting at Cotton - 268, Clinton - 266 and Sanders - 4. Sanders electors would not flip to Clinton, and Progressive Democrats in the House refused to back Clinton whilst Warner was rushed through by the Senate in order to ensure an Acting Presidency could be in place effectively. Warner quickly made Clinton his Acting VP under dubious constructional grounds and then after a year in which no progress was made resigned in her favour - it was during this Acting Presidency that a rogue Secret Service Agent fired twice into Senator Tom Cotton's back, killing him almost immediately, and during which Sanders' staffers were accused of stealing DNC information to target key swing voters. With her main rival dead, the Republicans in the new congress of 2022 had little choice but to vote with Clinton loyalists and reinstate her as President.
2022-0000: Hillary Clinton/Mark Warner (Democratic)
Now legally secure in her Presidency, everything nevertheless seems to be tumbling down for President Clinton as her troops are slaughtered senselessly in Syria and more and more details of her peculiar involvement in Obama's scandalous resignation, Paul Ryan's health scares, and the deaths of Tom Cotton and a number of journalists emerge...
