Post a couple sentences describing your administration. Please keep it realistic, and include the bad parts too. (Extra points if you can keep with continuity.)

"The Enduro Administration's biggest accomplishment is putting term limits in congress, and fixing the the Department of Veteran Affairs. Several storylines was his ongoing crusade to end ISIS, which he was successful in but couldn't manage to finish, and the struggle with congress over the tax code. Although, not everything was good; his return to the gold standard was botched at first, and his attempts to end government intervention in the economy was blocked.

lol @ gold standard and term limits

"The V. Administration lasted less than a week, as the newly-elected President announced his resignation shortly after swearing in, declaring 'Sorry folks, I have no clue what made me think running for President was a good idea. Thanks for the votes and everything, but I'd rather go back to writing papers no one will read.' Vice President Kamala Harris was sworn in shortly thereafter, and went on to become one of the greatest Presidents in US history."

Low-energy presidency.  Sad.

"The Scott Administration oversaw massive reforms domestically and abroad.  These changes included mass withdrawal of most (but not all) US military presence across the globe as these resources were directed almost exclusively toward crippling ISIS.  The War on Drugs was officially brought to an end with the federal decriminalization of marijuana, which the President used as an opportunity to reduce federal bureaucracy and direct the Justice Department toward a renewed focus on white-collar crime and government corruption.  Perhaps the greatest landmark achievement (and one which arguably led to mass defeats for the President's party in the midterm election) of the Administration was the complete transition of the American healthcare system to a German-based sickness funds program, which included the adoption of a federal public healthcare option.

Ultimately, the President sought not to seek another term after WikiLeaks released documentation which detailed a hidden plan to appoint a five-year-old orphan to the Supreme Court, who would have been raised and trained by members of the gay and abortion lobbies."

Mixed

The moderate hero administration was marked by massive spending reform . Military spending was reduced by 20 percent by modernizing the military and the foreign policy of nation building ended which resulted in terrorist groups such as ISIS destroyed  .After that he reformed welfare by putting mandotry work training to revive welfare  which resulted in the poverty rate to be the lowest in US history .Then he reformed the tax code which totally incentived hiring people in the US and penalized outsourcing which brought back many manufacturing jobs to the USA and lowered the unemployment. Finally to reduce education debt he stopped giving loans to
People who go into gender studies ,religious studies , and many degrees which are useless and instead used that money to fund trade schools .  He left office with unemployment rate being at historic lows and surplus being at record highs

Not bad, if those policies have the effects delineated.

The RFayette administration was marked by most by a strong cultural reversal in the United States.  A cornerstone of his administration was the appointment of multiple pro-life stalwarts  leading to the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and his political clout helped lead to the passage of the Human Life Amendment, banning abortion in all 50 states and territories except in the cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother.  Furthermore, religious liberty sharply increased under the administration, with the marriage issue being returned to the states and religious authorities being given immunity from legislation.  The Byrd amendment for voluntary school prayer also passed, partially nullifying Warren Court decisions like Engel v. Vitale.  Many states also modified their divorce statutes to make no-fault divorces much harder to obtain, one factor (along with increased economic security) which helped cause the divorce rate to plummet. 

On the financial front, Medicaid was expanded, community college tuition was made free, and public university tuition was greatly reduced.  This occurred in conjunction with a significant infrastructure buildup, financed by an increase in the top marginal income tax bracket.  The earned income and child care tax credits were also expanded, and K-12 schooling was greatly revamped, with a strong emphasis on technical training and tracks depending on student ability, in a similar system to the German one.  Trade agreements were modified to ensure that the United States competed on a more level playing field with respect to wages and environmental agreements.    Illegal immigration was greatly reduced thanks to a no-nonsense policy of deportations for recent immigrants, a newly erected border wall, and strong sanctions on companies that hired illegals.

On the foreign policy front, little differed from the preceding administrations.  Foreign conflicts were solved mostly through drone warfare, special ops, and diplomacy, with very few ground troops being deployed.

Mainly positive.

The public was unsure of what to make of the accidental Cathcon presidency. Made Acting Secretary of State mere weeks before and named designated survivor for the State of the Union, few had expected him to ever occupy the Oval Office. It quickly became clear he hadn't either. A former feds "spook" and later academic, his mannerisms were unaccustomed to dealing with soundbites, and preferred a combination of sarcasm, self-deprecating humor, and obscure vocabulary to effectively communicating with the media. His admission that he was officially undecided as to whether the West ought to play as significant a role as it had, that a theocracy might have "sociological merit", and reference to a member of Congress as a "self-hating liberal weenie" did not sit well with the modern political lexicon. Immense spending on infrastructure and vague declarations of "implementing a program of national greatness" would be the chief policies. He would ultimately lose to a candidate he referred to as "the neoliberal posterboy for acceptable absurdity" who would "lead us, unquestionably, down the path of rationalist atheism that so doomed several other purportedly 'modern' countries."

Appendix:
Notable quips would include, in conversation with the Democratic Senate Majority Whip, "Of course, sure, we can discuss male privilege all day, and obviously some changes need to be made--particularly with regard to the balance of household labor--but that can't really be legislated, and what I'm willing to budge on will never be enough for you, so I don't see why we're here. You can meet me at the range by six."

Con's retirement would be notable for his authoring of a tome of comparative political sociology comparing the divergent paths of Germany and Russia, along with frequent competition in 5K foot races.
