 * 2016 Presidential Elections: In September of 2016, an official of the United States government discovered documents that were saying that Hillary was secretly funding Assad's regime in Syria. This is reported to Obama, and both Hillary and Bill Clinton are locked up in federal prison due to it. Now, there are only two candidates with a majority of the votes: Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Most of the people that were supporting Hillary flocked to Bernie. Once November came around, voting began. Votes turned in Bernie's favor on November 10th, with him emerging as the new president of the United States.
