![21 KB](thumbs/1290834490956s.jpg) In 2009, following George W. Bush's eight year term in office, McCain is elected the 44th President of the United States of America following a disputed election and a tie vote in the Electoral College (and subsequent tie-breaker by the United States House of Representatives), becoming the most unpopular president in U.S. history. A dramatic amount of civil unrest and rioting springs up all throughout the United States, resulting in domestic terrorism. In response, President McCain uses the Homeland Security Act and declares martial law on many areas of the country.
During the election of 2012, the Supreme Court of the United States disqualifies all the presidential candidates from holding office, effectively awarding McCain with a second term. The public reacts violently when incumbent McCain accepts his next term.
During the Inauguration Day in Washington, D.C. on January 20, 2013, a low-yield tactical nuclear weapon is detonated in an apparent groundburst, presumably having been concealed there in advance. The yield is sufficient to destroy most of the city, killing McCain, his cabinet, and most of the U.S. Congress. The United States plunges into chaos.
The European Union parliament meets in an emergency session, and votes to send peacekeepers to the greater DC area to secure international interests. Separatist sentiment begins to rise in America. On national television, the governor of California declares home rule, and secedes from the Union on April 15, 2013. Texas follows a few days later, taking neighboring states with them, and re-forming the Republic of Texas. By 2014, all hopes for a peaceful resolution are gone, and the Second American Civil War begins. |
