She spent her first term campaigning on the idea of opening the country up to foreign affairs by January 2020, with her establishing multiple ''de facto'' departments aimed at eventually assisting in foreign affairs back in 2010. In 2011, she expanded the powers of the Department of Education to assist in establishing specialized charter schools for high school students. In early 2012, she forever changed her reelection campaign by announcing that Vice President Sindi Bantoor would be resigning the following year, thus pushing then Speaker of the People Mitch Lorraine to assume the Vice Presidency in January 2013 after the 2012 election. The Assembly elected Representative Julian Rite to Speaker of the People in February 2013.

In her second term, President Roswuud enacted the Affirmmative Action Order that expanded specific civil rights pertaining to different species inhabiting Equatannia, and has been used to further lift up minorities since. This policy gives greater chance to impoverished and minority students or employees. Most Equatannians support this Order due to their fundamental belief of equal representation. Roswuud also expanded the powers of Congress by enacting Orders that gave the People's Assembly and Regional the ability to remove a President or entire Administration for negligence. This was a move by Roswuud to further affirm her ideas of an expanded balance in power between the three government branches.
