SC Justice & Fmr. VPOTUS Terence Walsh announces he is running for President
WASHINGTON DC, USA - On February 14th, present Supreme Court Justice, former Vice President, former Chief Judge of the Federal Courts (among various other positions) Terence Walsh announced his intentions to run for the office of President of the United States.
Walsh was removed from his office as Vice President on January 18th, 2015, when he was brutally assassinated by national criminal Jaming Space. According to the Assassination Rules Act of 2015, he was thereby barred from ever holding the office of Vice President of the United States (the position in which he was assassinated) for the rest of his career. A Supreme Court ruling further affirmed, however, that this bar of officeholding is only present for as long as the bill is a part of the law code.
Surely, within the following few days, the United States Congress and President Russo worked to repeal the assassination act. Despite this, Walsh was not renominated for the position of Vice President, and instead replaced by former Secretary of Homeland Security Jack Rockwell. Instead, Walsh was nominated and approved for the position of Chief Judge of the United States Federal Courts (the judicial system which handles all civilian criminal cases).
Walsh memorably started his career in the United States as a Representative of the 7th District of Alabama, then switched to the Senate, before rising to the position of President pro tempore and invoking the beginnings of the careers of numerous other politicians now holding high public office: current President Patrick Russo was a close friend of Walsh's in the House of Representatives, current Secretary of Defense Jennifer Hartson was the Senator of New York (appointed to her position by executive authority in a vacancy), and current Chief Justice Cbooty was a Metropolitan Police Officer who was closely associated with Walsh as a strong advocate for law enforcement reform.
Following his term in Congress, Walsh served in various positions: he became Deputy of and Attorney General, he appeared on the Supreme Court twice, he became a Representative from the 11th District of Virginia, Speaker of the House, and (of course) Vice President.
Walsh also held various positions in the business, lobbying, and educational sector of the United States, including the position of CEO of the Patriot Report (a presently shutdown news corporation), CEO of C-SPAN, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Uccello Russo (an Italian luxury store), and present Head Professor of George Washington University.
In his candidacy statement before American citizens, Walsh very briefly stated the general goals of his possible upcoming presidency - to simply further the success of various departments specifically including those of Defense, State, and Homeland Security.
The Democratic Party has not yet decided whether it will throw its support to Walsh, or to current President pro tempore Elizabeth Dalton, who also announced her desire to run the same day.
