Chapter 1187 A natural qualified politician

As soon as he heard that he had a handling opinion on himself, the resigned president immediately became nervous: "What do you say?"

The vice president shook his head and said, "It was originally meant to refer to Christina's precedent..."

"No! This is unfair!" said the resigned president almost roaring. Former Secretary of State Christina, who became a scapegoat after the incident was exposed and eventually "deathed suicide". If such a precedent was really taken, it would be troublesome to step down as the resigned president.

"Don't worry about your friend!" Vice President Lewis smiled, "But now things have turned around, and your life will not be too big a problem. The superiors have already introduced alternative plans and have begun to show results. Wait until the election is over, try to avoid you being caught in the trial of ordinary criminal courts, and it is best to strive for amnesty."

"Thank you so much!" The resigned president breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa.

Lewis said with infinite regret: "What a pity is that you will fade out of this circle in the future. Everyone knows your ability, and this time it is a must. I hope you can think more openly and spend the rest of your life safely. In fact, I really envy your life like this."

No longer have power, he can only live a semi-seclusion life. It may seem a bit disappointing for a great head of state, but for the outgoing president who was originally in desperate situation, this is undoubtedly a huge favor.

...

The day of election begins!

Since the resigned president was originally a candidate for his party, now the party can only issue another one, that is, the successor Vice President Lewis, to compete with the opposition candidate Strauss for the throne of president.

The successor of the vice president has little qualifications and has just been in the position for a few days. Even the position of vice president before this was a vacancy left by Gordon. His political capital is not very strong and his qualifications are not reliable enough. At the same time, the party they are in has been negatively affected by the resignation of the president and his approval rating has been greatly reduced. The approval rating that was originally slightly lower than Strauss, but now the gap has further widened.

During the election, Stanley helped Strauss run around and made great contributions. He copied his experience of successfully running for the senator into the presidential election. Although it was not enough to influence the situation across the country, it at least increased Strauss' popularity and added a heavy weight to this victory.

In the end, the election results revealed that Strauss successfully ascended the throne of the US president with an overwhelming advantage of 72%!

Except for the founding presidents, Strauss was the second president who came from Catholicism after Kennedy for two hundred years. The rest are Protestants. Of course, they are Protestants, but they are actually affiliated with the sect of St. John.

Every time the election results are revealed, some people are happy and some are worried. However, this time the situation is slightly better, and those who support Strauss are naturally happy, and those loyalists who support the other party do not clamor for anything too much. Because they are in a bad mood and know that the political parties they support are generally unable to speak.

The handover began! Strauss completely took over the authority of the world's superpowers!

Poor that the vice president had just succeeded for a few days and had not yet heated up the president's throne, he handed over it to others. However, out of politeness and compliance with the law, he still honestly handed over power and sincerely wished Strauss to lead this country well and create one glory after another.

When the transfer of power was completed, Stanley was prepared to promote the retrial of the Haines defection case in accordance with the opinions of the Senate, and of course, to promote a criminal trial against the former president. Now Stanley has a strong voice within his party and has a strong presence in the domestic political arena. Not to mention that it is of great importance, but at least it has become a household name and has become a veritable political star. From the underground godfather to the political star, he has completed a gorgeous transformation.

Two days ago, Nero, the leader of his party, met him and gave him some in-depth comfort, and hoped that he would work hard and make greater contributions to the development of his party. Nero also hinted that the party would focus on supporting Stanley in the future, and strive to support Stanley as Strauss' deputy in the general election four years later. The two of them run for president and vice president together!

The spring breeze is thrilling. Although Stanley lacks strong hope for the power of the earthly world, who thinks that the black yarn is big and who thinks that the purple python is long? If he succeeds in running for vice president, it means that Stanley is a vice president in his thirties, a great power leader with the same status as Gordon!

It is worth mentioning that the president of the United States may not be the leader of the party. If someone in his party successfully runs for president, his power may be greater than that of the leader. But generally, the leader has the highest position in the party. Now, although Nero is less powerful than Strauss in the country, he is not weaker than Strauss in the party. Moreover, Nero has successfully become the Speaker of the House of Representatives under the strong recommendation of his party. This is also a powerful position that can provide strong escort for the president's power operation. Therefore, Nero has a great actual energy, comparable to Strauss. His promise to Stanley is very likely to be realized.

With Nero's recognition and Strauss's ally, Stanley is now smooth sailing. No matter where he goes, others will respectfully call him "His Excellency Stanley", and even foreign politicians will show great enthusiasm when they see him.

"Hello, dear Senator! Mr. President is waiting for you in the office." A White House staff member smiled and said respectfully to Stanley.

"Thank you!" Stanley smiled and walked straight to President Strauss' office.

Now that the transfer of power has been completed smoothly, Strauss' position has finally settled down. Stanley has made an appointment on the phone to discuss with Strauss about the trial of the former president and the retrial of Haynes. Strauss also agreed to meet in the office at 9 o'clock this morning.

"Come on, please sit down!" President Strauss smiled when he saw Stanley coming in, "I have been busy with handover these days. In fact, I have had a preliminary opinion on the two cases, so I happened to discuss it with you. However, before discussing these two things, there is another thing to say in advance, which is a good thing."

Straus smiled, seeing Stanley being a little confused, so he continued to smile: "Mr. Nero and I have discussed it and decided to ask you to be responsible for the election affairs department within the party. This is an important position and the position of real power within the party. In addition, in terms of government affairs, we have also decided to promote you to serve as the chairman of a Senate committee, such as the Judicial Committee. How about it? Are you interested?"

This is considered a reward for merit? Stanley smiled and expressed his gratitude. This is a common phenomenon in the political ecology, because Stanley made due contributions in the early elections. Although neither of these two positions are formal government offices, they mean the expansion of Stanley's actual power within the party and in the Senate respectively. Perhaps, this is also a foundation for him to become his party's vice presidential candidate in the next step.

And with such positions, such as the position of Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in the process of interacting with foreign countries, even when facing a big country like China and Russia, the other party should treat him as a ministerial figure or above. The benefits are naturally many.

Seeing Stanley happily acknowledged, Strauss put forward his own views on the two cases. "We have reached a consensus long ago, and there must be problems in Director Haynes' case. Promoting the retrial of his case is an inevitable requirement for legal justice. In the past two days, I will ask the Department of Justice to start dealing with this matter. However, when the retrial process is officially launched, Director Haynes needs to be present in person to cooperate. Of course, the current political ecology is different, and there is no security threat when he returns to the United States."

Stanley nodded.

Straus continued: "As for the things that happened to the former president, there is no doubt that they are extremely bad. Those despicable things should be subject to the most severe sanctions in any country. But one thing is worth noting: that is the image of our United States. A dignified American president has become a conspirator, murderer, and an asylum of the evil church. What will the world view the United States? How will we judge our great excess? Perhaps people around the world will sarcastically say that the president we elected is such a guy, and that the United States will become a laughing stock of the world. No one of us wants to see such an unfavorable situation. Therefore, this matter needs to be cautious and cautious."

His attitude seemed to have changed! Stanley smelled some bad smell from it. "So, uncle, what do you think should be done?" Stanley asked quietly.

Straus sighed: "You are an upright person, and I am confident that I am the same. There is no doubt that we cannot tolerate offense in our eyes. However, there are too many trade-offs in politics, and sometimes eight-point concessions are needed for ten-point interests. Please believe me, this is not an exchange of interests with the party where the former president is located, but just because it takes into account the image and interests of the entire United States. Alas, once you sit in this chair, you know that there are too many things that need to be patient."

Stanley took a deep breath. Strauss' attitude was already very clear that he wanted to let the former president go!

Stanley didn't know what exactly was the reason and what power that led to Strauss' transformation. But Stanley knew that his current energy was simply not enough to change all this.

So he stood up and smiled, bowed and said, "Since you shoulder the heavy responsibility of leadership of such a huge country, you naturally have to bear pressure and helplessness that others cannot imagine. I understand this very well. As for the opinions on handling these two cases, I think your ideas are undoubtedly wise and have a profound vision. By the way, I think I can be competent for the position of the Party's Election Affairs Department. But as the chairman of the Judicial Committee of the Senate, haha, I am not a professional law. I can't even remember how many constitutions are there. I also hope that you and Mr. Nero will choose a more suitable candidate. Of course, for your concern and love, please allow me to express my sincere respect and gratitude!"

After saying that, Stanley smiled and said goodbye, leaving Strauss' office.
Chapter completed!
