Enstates universal health care and withdraws from Iraq. Inflation rises and the price of oil rises to $12 a gallon. He ultimately doesn't seek a second term and leaves office with a 36% approval rating.

For Joe Republic:
Originally an Independent, Joe Republic switches to the Democratic Party as he seizes on an opportunity to get a major party nomination. His major opponents are two liberal Democratic senators: one from Massachusetts, the other from Virginia. They manage to split the far-left vote, resulting in Joe Republic winning the nomination.

His opponent in the general election is a former conservative Republican senator from Virginia, who had been defeated for reelection just four years earlier. Joe Republic defeats the senator 331-214.

His first term is filled with economic success and progress. The unemployment rate reaches a new twenty year low. He promotes tax cuts and pro-growth legislation, much to the dismay of the DNC party leaders. He has higher approval ratings among Republicans and conservatives than Democrats and liberals.

In his reelection campaign, Republicans refuse to nominate an opposing candidate, whereas the Democrats are giving him primary opposition. The liberal senator from Virginia, who lost to President Republic four years earlier, is challenging him again. The liberal Virginia senator manages to win the primaries due to support from DNC party leaders. However, Joe decides instead to run as an independent, which gets him the support of the Republicans. He manages to win a razor thin victory, 276-262.
 
His second term is not as successful as his first, as the Senate and House are more bitterly divided than they were in his first term. In the midterms, the Virginia senator that challenged Joe was defeated, helping improve the bipartisanship in the Senate. Joe leaves office with high approval ratings, but doesn't accomplish half the things he wanted to do.
