The Republic of Texas
The American Congress had been a thorn in the President’s side since he was elected. His party had won both houses on Election Day, but the majority was slim and the other party united to resist him. They could not abide that someone like him had been elected by those too stupid and irredeemable to understand what was best for them. They ran against his “racist and bigoted administration” in the midterms, and won both houses in minor landslides filled with rumors of voter fraud that gave them slim majorities. They used those majorities to quickly start numerous investigations into him and those who dared to work for him. The economic war with China proved to be the perfect nail beneath their political hammer, and they charged him with incompetence and/or outride collusion with the enemy to weaken America. They Impeached both the President and the Vice President that took his place in a one-two political punch that raised the Speaker of the House to the Presidency of the United States of America, heralded by the new President and his media allies as a day of “Truth and Justice in America.”
