Timeline of the Newell Presidency (2029 - 2037)

Transition Period (2028 -2029)

Shortly after winning the 2028 Presidential Election against Tulsi Gabbard and Donald Trump Jr., President Sanders met President Elect Newell to congratulate him on his victory. Sanders and Newell met on two occasions, once in November of 2028 and once in January of 2029 in order to adjust into the Presidency. The 87 year old Bernie Sanders said that he "trusted Newell with the Presidency" and "believed that he would do the right thing as President".

Inauguration of Gabe Newell (2029)

On the cloudy day of January 20th, 2029; Gabe Newell was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States with John McDonald as his Vice President. In attendance were former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Bernie Sanders. Throughout the speech, Newell talked about continuing the fight against Climate Change and promoting the idea of Eco-Capitalism. The speech was taken relatively well by US citizens with a 75% approval of the speech.

2029 - The first year

Expansion of Relief to the Southern United States

After his inaguration, Gabe Newell went to work attempting to pass legislature to expand the Green New Deal to more impoverished parts of America. Places such as Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana which lost land throughout the 2020s due to rising sea levels. The expansion of the Green New Deals saw money poured into the infrastructure of the stagnant South as well as redirection routes if the sea levels continue to rise.

Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II

After ruling the United Kingdom for 78 years, Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 103 on July 10th, 2029. President Newell was one of the many world leaders present at her funeral. As Elizabeth outlived her son Prince Charles (1948 - 2022), the throne was passed to William, Duke of Cambridge. Newell met with King William as they discussed the future of the United Kingdom.

Second Mars Landing

After the first landing of humans on Mars by SpaceX in 2026, another mission was being planned. In a joint effort by several space programs, including NASA and SpaceX, as well as an international space comitee a crew of 20 humans from 12 different countries landed on Mars in the summer of 2029 and was watched by 4.1 billion people, making it the most watched event in human history. Newell claimed it as a "victory for the scientific community and humanity as a whole".

Meeting with the Cuban Government and the re-establishment of travel

Ever since the end of the Cold War, tensions remained high between the two nations. Progress was made under the Obama administration with re-establishing travel between the two nations, though this was undone by the Trump administration and the Sanders administration never got around to re-establishing relations. But in September of 2029, Newell traveled to Havana to announce the re-establishment of travel and stronger relations between the two nations. This was a historic moment, as freedom around the world and peace was the biggest goal President Newell wanted to have significant progress in reaching.

2030 - The Second Year

2030 State of the Union Address

In a joint meeting of congress, President Newell delivered his State of the Union on January 27th, 2030. The speech was perceived relatively positive with an approval rating of 68%. Speaker of the House Andrew Yang called the speech "relatively good, especially when he touched on automation and it's harmful effects". Senate President Pro Tempore Richard Ojeda called the speech "very well put".

Guam Statehood

Guam became the 52nd state on April 12th, 2030 shortly following Puerto Rico which gained statehood in 2025. Newell called Guam's statehood "essential in improving it's development and living conditions and ensuring the well-being of every American citizen". The statehood decision on Guam would lead to Newell winning the state by 99.4% in the 2032 Presidential Elections.

Collapse of Saudi Arabia

Fayyadh

Fayyadh Al Ruwaili, leader of the Republic of Arabia (2030- 2041)

After the US cut aid to Saudi Arabia in 2020, Saudi Arabia would go on to lose their proxy war in Yemen and have international sanctions placed on them for human rights violation. After a decade of economic stagnantion throughout the 2020s, the Saudi military under the command of Fayyadh Al Ruwaili would go on to overthrow the Saudi Monarchy in a republican coup. The "Republic of Arabia" was established later that year in June of 2030. Gabe Newell recognized the new government, even calling the former Saudi Arabia a "cancer on human development".

Turkey's NATO crisis

On May 4th, 2030 the Prime Minister of Turkey, Ekrem İmamoğlu and the President, Özgür Özel officially announced that Turkey would be leaving NATO as "the nation has developed past the need of foreign aid. The damage done on Turkey by the former Erdoğan administration led to us delaying this decision for a while but our latest assesments deem this move to be eligible to done". This move brought world tensions to an all-time high as a new world war seemed possible between the United States and it's NATO allies against the new nuclear global power Turkey and it's ally Azerbaijan. President Newell would succesfully get in contact with prime minister İmamoğlu and tensions would soon soothe. President Newell's administration signed a peace and trade treaty with Turkey on February 19th, 2035 which allowed Turkey to grow even further and made American interventions in the Middle East a very unlikely possibility in the future.

Johnson v. Alaska

The Supreme Court Case of "Johnson v Alaska" occurred under Newell's Presidency. The Supreme Court case was the only time in US history in which the Third Amendment was invoked. The case involved soldiers from the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson base near Anchorage Alaska. Due to the base being crowded, the command of the base struck a deal with the Mayor of Anchorage to allow some troops to stay within the town. Local Anchorage resident Francis Johnson sued the city of Anchorage, several appeals would lead this case to go to the supreme court. The case was eventually settled by September 23rd, 2030.

Apologizing for the 2003 Iraq War

On October 4th, 2030; President Newell sparked controversy when on his diplomatic mission to Baghdad, he apologized for the Iraq war which he called "a massive mistake". President George W. Bush criticized Newell's claims calling them "misinformed". Many viewed this as Bush furthering President Sanders' non-interventionist foreign policy seen in the 2020s.

2031 - The Third Year

The 28th Amendment

"Studies show that the brain begins to deteriorate at age 30. Therefore, lowering the minimum age to become President would be beneficial for an intellectually bright America." - Gabe Newell (on the passing of the 28th Amendment).

The 28th Amendment was passed in the US congress on January 8th, 2031 and was passed by President Newell later that day. The Amendment lowered the minimum age to become President from 35 to 25. Many Democratic senators were against this, as this would make the Democrat Party's (the party infamous for electing old an clueless candidates to the primary) of winning very slim, but as the congress and house of representatives were in Serenity Party major, the 28th Amendment passed.

2031 State of the Union Address

On January 27th, 2031; Gabe Newell gave the annual State of the Union Address. Newell talked about all the progress which his administration and congress as a whole have made throughout the past year.

Newell talked about how quality of life in the US had climbed to world record rankings and that this was re-assurement that America was still the best in the world.

Re-Unification of Sudan

After two decades of internal strife within both nations, delegations from both governments met in the city of Philadelphia. By February 12th, the two nations merged and the "Union of Sudan" was formed with equal representation between both nations. Newell's diplomatic involvement with the peace process had him hailed as a "master of diplomacy". And would further make a positive impact on the public view, as he was viewed as " a sensible diplomat who knows that not everything can be solved by throwing a trillion dollar military on it as a solution".

Re-establishment of the H.U.A.C

Defunct since the 1950s, the House of Un-American activities was re-established by Senate Republicans and some Senate Democrats after the rise of the Chinese Communist government within east Asia. After the indictment of Senator Preston Daniels from Iowa for his apparent ties to the Chinese government. The movement was headed by Senator Micheal R. Dressler from NJ who believed that "Chinese Communism is the biggest cancer facing American society and the world." Newell condemned the movement stating:

"It is no secret that China is not a good nation. But I oppose the re-establishment of an organization such as H.U.A.C based on what has happened in the past, this is a gateway to mass hysteria and wrongful blacklisting." - Gabe Newell, 2031 (on the re-establishment of H.U.A.C)

Funeral of Donald Trump

Despite being out of office for 10 years, Donald Trump remained an influential political figure throughout the 2020s and 2030s. One of the ways many believed he asserted his influence was by influencing the GOP nominations in the 2024 and 2028 elections. The 2024 Republican nominee, Patrick M. Shanahan, was Trump's former Secretary of Defense and a close ally of his within his administration. His son Donald Trump Jr. won the 2028 nomination. The death of Donald Trump was polarizing to many, though Newell and the other living Presidents did attend, none spoke at the funeral.

They would go on to vote heavily in favor of President Newell in the upcoming elections.

In an April summit with President Gabe Newell, Kim Jong Un announced that he would be disregarding the system of Juche as a whole in order to strengthen North Korea's cooperation with the international community. Following the footsteps of the USSR from the 1980's,they allowed Western corporations to do trade in North Korean soil. Billie Eilish became the first western artist to perform in North Korean soil.
