==== The Current Presidency ====
Karine Roswuud left office to some political scandal, but to much approval from Equatannians. She further explained her resignation once again on January 13, 2008 in a televised address. Equaan Chancellor Melinde Roswuud announced her intent to run for President in March with the backing of the Federal Party, the same party her aunt was a part of. She won the primary election in July of 2008 and was elected President on the Federal Holiday of that same year with 62% of the vote. Representative Sindi Bantoor was elected to the Vice President position after winning 21% of the vote. Roswuud is the youngest elected President as she was only 28 when elected.
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 Janice Smitte to Speaker of the People in February 2013.
