45-49th Presidents of the United States (Vincent's World)

2020 Election
Donald Trump had lost the 2020 election to former Vice President Joe Biden, most likely due to his poor handling of the 2019-2020 Coronavirus Pandemic in the United States, the way he had handled the protests over the death of George Floyd, and his attempts to frame his political rivals during that time, one of which included "ObamaGate", a final ditch attempt to get dirt on his predecessor, Barack Obama, and his final attempt to get re-elected for a second term. In his speech following his loss, he states that he accepts defeat and admits to his wrongdoings while in office. On January 20th, 2021, the day of the inauguration of the new president, he decides not to attend the event, and is escorted to his new residence at the Mar-a-Lago in Florida, leaving his wife Melania and their 14 year old son Barron to attend. He had become the first president since George H. W. Bush to serve just one term in office.

Shoe-Throwing Incident
During his final press conference with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a disgraced elementary school teacher by the name of Harry Quentin threw his shoes at Trump, both of which he managed to dodge. The Secret Service and London Police take Quentin away and charge him with disorderly conduct.

Legacy
Although Trump had done some great things in office, such as being the first president to hold a summit with a North Korean dictator, he was still remembered for having bad character, and some terrible things he had done while in office, such as the bad handling of the Coronavirus Pandemic which led to over 200,000 deaths in the United States, not having witnesses in his impeachment trial, threatening to use military action against peaceful protesters following the death of George Floyd, and the unlawful killing of an Iranian general. He is considered the "presidential mistake" by many newspapers and magazines. He spent the rest of his life being a political speaker for Republican candidates in the following election years, and passed away from a heart attack on August 31st, 2038.

2020 Election
Biden defeated Trump with 76% of the popular vote, and with 327 electoral college votes. It was originally thought that he would be unable to beat President Trump, but the way Trump badly handled the Coronavirus Pandemic proved otherwise that he was never qualified to be president, considering how he would handle a terrible health crisis. Biden promised a return to normalcy, in which the United States would be able to follow. On the same day of election night, the last few people infected with CoViD-19 had been cured by the new Vaccine created in order to eliminate any types of the virus that will ever appear.

Lennon & Grimmie Act of 2021
Joe Biden immediately went to work after his inauguration. He signed into law the Lennon & Grimmie act of 2021 which helped drop the rate of Gun Violence and provided more strict background checks for people looking to buy any firearms. The new law gets its name from singers John Lennon and Christina Grimmie, both of which had been killed by gun violence which had plagued the US for a long, long time.

Venezuelan Civil War (2021 - 2022)
Months after his presidency began, however, a civil war had erupted in Venezuela. Biden had absolute distrust with the Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro for quite some time, and in 2022, when Guaido's troops had surrounded the capital city of Caracas, he dispatched US Navy SEAL Team 8 to try and track down Maduro after it was found out that he had escaped his bunker 2 months prior. Maduro was found in his hideout in Cuba, and was taken to Guantanamo Bay to be shaven so they could confirm his identity. The Venezuelan Civil War had been won by Guaido as a result.

Death and Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II (2021)
Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully in her sleep on September 14th, 2021. Her funeral was held 9 days later on the 23rd. President Joe Biden is one out of the many world leaders to attend the biggest funeral of the early 21st Century. After the Funeral, he meets up with British PM Boris Johnson and Charles III, who is now the new king of the British Commonwealth. He also meets up with Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and Australian PM Scott Morrison. The 5 discuss about the future of the UK after the death of the queen, who reigned for almost 70 years since the death of her father King George VI in 1952. A coronation for King Charles III would take place almost a year later, on August 14th, 2022.

Pandemic Containment, Prevention and Response Act of 2022
In response to how badly Trump had handled the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2020, president Joe Biden signs into law the Pandemic Containment, Prevention and Response Act of 2022, bringing back the Obama Administration's Pandemic Response team in which Trump had fired, and giving more powers to health organizations such as the CDC and the WHO to predict and prevent outbreaks of new diseases by identifying them and containing them quickly, allowing the United States to be better prepared for any outbreaks that may happen in the near future.

2024 Election
Joe Biden defeated former National Security Advisor and UN Ambassador John Bolton in a landslide victory, winning 348 votes. He is sworn in for a second term on January 20th, 2025.

Assassination Threats and Attempts
Because Biden was elected in 2020, a year that ended in the number zero, many feared that he would be the long-awaited 8th victim of the 20-year presidential curse, known mainly as the "Curse of Tippecanoe" or "Tecumseh's Curse", where every president elected every 20 years in a year that ended in 0 would either die in office or have their life taken by an assassin.
 * May 29th, 2022: When a terrorist bomb plot against the World Trade Center mall is foiled, it is revealed that the would-be attacker, 52-year old Horatio Manuel, had also planned to assassinate Joe Biden with explosives sometime afterwards for helping Guaido defeat Maduro in the Venezuelan Civil War. He was sentenced to life in prison after confessing to the plot.
 * October 31st, 2025: The "Halloween Plot" fails as Biden is almost shot by a Republican-sympathizing white supremacist named Roland Greg, aged 48, with an M1917 revolver, during a summit with Mexican President Ricardo Anaya in Tijuana, Mexico. The gun failed to fire and Greg was wrestled to the ground quickly before he could turn the safety off.
 * April 1st, 2027: A 21-year old man from Phoenix, Arizona named Alex Harper posts a startling message on Facebook stating that he plans to assassinate president Biden with a Mk 13 Sniper Rifle. His house is later raided and he is taken into custody by the police. Harper stated that it was just an April Fools joke, and that he did not plan on actually killing president Biden.

Legacy
Biden left office after 2 successful terms on January 20th, 2029. His successor is his longtime cabinet member, Tulsi Gabbard, who had been the Secretary of Defense (2022 - 2025) and later on Secretary of State (2025 - 2029).

Biden left office with an 86% approval rating. He spends the rest of his life at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. He passed away from a brain tumor on February 18th, 2044 at the age of 101, making him the first president to live to his hundreds.

2028 Election
After Marco Rubio became the last to drop out of the presidential race, Republican candidate Nikki Haley became her party's nominee. Because the last Democratic candidate Cory Booker had dropped out of the race earlier, the course of the election had changed. With Secretary of State Tulsi Gabbard and Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley as both the nominees, It was now determined who would become the first ever female President of the United States. Tulsi Gabbard and her running mate Richard Ojeda had defeated Nikki Haley and her running mate Ben Carson with 84% of the popular vote and with 336 electoral college votes.

Death and Funeral of Kim Jong-un (2030)
In June of 2027, news had broken out that the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un had been diagnosed with lung cancer, due to his smoking habits. On March 6th, 2030, Kim had passed away from pneumonia caused by the cancer at the age of 46 (48 in North Korean Records).

He was replaced by his young sister, Kim Yo-jong, who became the communist country's first ever female supreme leader. The funeral for the late Kim Jong-un was held 5 days after his death, on March 11th. President Gabbard made a statement following the dictator's passing, stating that his death marks the beginning of a new era for the country, and hopefully not one under a constant authoritarian leadership, and a step forward to the reunification of the two Korea's.

2032 Election
Tulsi Gabbard had won re-election, defeating Governor of Florida Jeb Bush and his running mate Marco Rubio with 79% of the popular vote, and 325 electoral college votes. She is sworn in for a second term on January 20th, 2033.

Abdication of King Charles III (2033)
In the Mid-late 2020's and early 2030's, support of Australia becoming a republic had grown higher, and by 2031, a vote was held. By just one vote, the country had exited the Commonwealth, and was renamed to the Republican Federation of Australia. With other commonwealth nations willing to do the same, the pressured King Charles III made the sudden decision to abdicate the throne, and pass it on to his son, Prince William of Wales, on April 27th, 2033.

Gabbard visited the new king, now known as King William V, on August 13th that same year. She hopes that during the reign of the new king, the commonwealth of nations will be preserved. The coronation of the new king takes place on June 11th, 2034.

Legacy
Tulsi Gabbard left office on January 20th, 2037 with a 81% Approval Rating. Since then, she had retired to new home in San Francisco, California, to spend the rest of her life with her husband. She would eventually become an activist for spreading the word of climate change.
