The_Not_Based_Gamer The 2016 United States presidential election was held on Novembeer 8th 2016 to determine the next President of the United States.

Incumbent President Barack Obama didn't participate due to term limits. The field was broadened with an independent candidate, Pewd Saiman, running.

Background
Barack Obama won the 2012 United States presidential election by a safe margin and wasn't eligible for re-election. In order to qualify for a run for president, candidates must either win a primary or run independently. The Republican Party nominee for president in 2012, Mitt Romney declined running again after losing the previous election.

ARC-7652 was chosen as Dav's running mate.

Only a vice-presidential debate happened, due to the presidential candidates not being able to agree on a date.
