Anaphase_Andy Presidency
Michigan's July 24th elections ended with Anaphase_Andy defeating De_Conquerer 24-24, with a total 55.81% of the Vote. A July 30th poll showed a 58.8% approval rating for the President. However this brief honeymoon phase ended as President Anaphase_Andy became inactive, and was unable to make an address in a timely fashion. On August 9, President Anaphase_Andy resigned shortly before impeachment. A contemporary poll showed a 20% approval rating as 4/5 Michiganers would have voted to impeach the President. Upon his resignation, his Vice-President 71Camino became President.
71Camino Presidency
71Camino's Presidency was defined by Michigan's ongoing expansion, and the fallout from President Anaphase_Andy's fall from grace.
The disgraced President moved to Texas. At this time, controversy ensued when foreigners learned of Michigan's 10k gold 'debt,' which for all practical purposes was just gold given to the nation by its residents.
On August 28th after campaigning from both greekenderman and 71Camino, Incumbent 71Camino was elected Midwest Union President 24-11, winning 68.6% of the vote.
