When the [[United States District Court for Dixie, Jefferson, and Puerto Rico]] (now the United States District Court for Dixie and Jefferson) was formed, Bo was nominated by President [[Howard Elkridge]] to be the Chief Judge thereof. Confirmed on August 10, 2021, Bo resigned from all other positions a day later to take office. Issuing multiple consequential rulings, Bo found the structure of the Federal Open Market Committee unconstitutional, found various provisions of the For the People Act unconstitutional, and issued the framework for jurisprudence on the 42nd Amendment.

With success in the December State elections but a general loss in the January Federal elections, Bo opted not to seek re-election and was succeeded by [[Howard Elkridge]].
When Justice [[Sandoval|Omarosa Sandoval]] announced his resignation, President [[Tedd Ddet]] announced Bo as his appointee to replace him. Bo was confirmed on April 14, 2022, and was sworn in a day later. He sat by designation, during his tenure, on the U.S. District Court for the North and the District of Columbia.
 
Bo resigned on December 17, 2022.


In July, 2021, Bo was re-elected to be Federal Chairman of the rebranded [[Libertarian-Republican Party]] without opposition.

Originally campaigning as a moderate, Bo is regarded as having drifted more partisan and more right leaning throughout his term as both Vice President and President, but has maintained socially liberal stances on topics such as abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial equality, while being more right-leaning on the economy, welfare, and the size and scope of the federal government.

Christian Ludacris Bo (born March 10, 1978) is an American attorney, politician, jurist and businessman who is serving as the junior United States Senator from Jefferson since January, 2023. A Libertarian, Libertarian-Republican, independent and now Radical Republican, Bo served as the 59th President of the United States from March to July, 2021, as the 59th Vice President of the United States under Omarosa Sandoval from November, 2020, to March, 2021, as a Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from April to December, 2022, served as the first Chief Judge of the United States District Court for Dixie and Jefferson from August to December, 2021, represented Jefferson in the Senate from July to August, 2021 and January to April, 2022, and represented Dixie in the Senate from September to November, 2020.

Early Life, Education, Career

Bo was born in Orlando, Florida on March 10, 1978 to Linda Wilton and Gary Bo. He is the elder brother to one sibling, Dominic Bo. His family later moved to Winter Garden, Florida where he attended and graduated from West Orange High School. Going on to attend the University of Tampa, he earned a B.S. in political science.

After a year working on electoral campaigns across central and southern Florida, he later attended the University of Miami School of Law, earning a J.D. degree. He went on to practice law in a firm based out of Tampa, Florida. Bo then worked as a political consultant before his entry into politics himself, sparked by an appointment to be Secretary of Internal Affairs in Dixie by Governor Omarosa Sandoval.

Dixie General Assembly

Having sought election to the Dixie General Assembly in the first district in August, 2020, Bo faced Trash, Andrew Blaze, and John Smith. He won with 52% of the vote, with Trash taking 30% and the other candidates taking the rest. He passed legislation to mandate LGBTQ+ education in schools; expand access to contraception; legalize prostitution; amend license plate regulation; ensure automatic voter registration; expand rehabilitation programs in prions; and ratify the Choice Amendment. Near the end of the session, when Speaker Phoenix was faced with a motion to vacate the chair, Bo was elected without opposition to the Speakership.

Re-elected with over 86% of the vote in October, 2020, Bo was further re-elected to the Speakership with support from both the left and right. He passed legislation to institute ranked choice voting; protect the rights of transgender inmates in prisons; establish the Department of Environmental Protection; promote health education efforts; investigate the Dixie Secession Plot; and enact of a land value tax. Bo forewent the Speakership in November, 2020, upon his election to the Vice Presidency, and he was succeeded by Miguel Wazowski in the post. Bo was re-elected in December, 2020, with 57% of the vote, against Ethan Matthias and, in his final term in office, passed legislation to raise Dixie’s minimum wage, and reform voting in the General Assembly. Refusing to seek election to a fourth term in February, 2020, Bo was succeeded by John Moonguy.

U.S. Senate

Dixie

Bo sought election to the Senate in Dixie in September, 2020, and faced the incumbent, Trash. Winning with 50.79% of the vote, Bo was sworn in to the Senate on September 10, 2020. Bo served as Senate Minority Leader in a caucus of just Senator Valerie and himself.

Notably during his tenure, he was briefly elected President pro tempore, in an act which would go on to cause Gavelgate. After partaking in the filibuster with Senator Valerie for 12 days, Bo became Senate Majority Leader in a joint caucus composed of Libertarians and Social Democrats to end the filibuster. Bo resigned from the Senate in November, 2020, and was succeeded by Ethan Armstrong.

Jefferson

July, 2021

Bo sought election to the Senate in Jefferson in July, 2021, and won without opposition, taking 74.62% of the vote. He swore in on July 15, 2021, and succeeded Valerie.

Bo resigned to join the United States District Court for Dixie, Jefferson, and Puerto Rico on August 11, 2021. He was succeeded by Sysadmin.

January, 2022

Following his resignation from the District Court for Dixie and Jefferson, Bo sought election to the Senate in January, 2022 as an independent, and won against Sysadmin with 50.54% of the vote. He was sworn in on January 14, 2022 and caucused independently in the 139th session. He was further elected President pro tempore of the Senate without opposition. During this term, he submitted legislation to rename various entities named after President Franklin D. Roosevelt, guarantee breaks that are paid for workers employed by businesses engaging in interstate commerce, and establish the federal budget for the February-March 2022 fiscal period. Both bills passed with bipartisan support and was signed by President Jeb!. In the 140th session, he formed a right-wing caucus with Valerie, Cabin Fever and Ian Bellinger and served as Senate Majority Leader, in the first right-wing federal trifecta in nearly two years. Bo resigned from Majority Leader on April 8, 2022, and from the Senate as a whole on April 14, 2022, upon his ascension to the Supreme Court of the United States.

January, 2023

Following his resignation as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States
, Bo sought election to the Senate in January, 2023 as a Radical Republican. Running against former Representative Freedom_4All, he won with 100% of the vote following a debate scandal from his opponent.

Vice Presidency

Bo was long speculated to be a likely candidate for Omarosa Sandoval’s running mate in the November, 2020, Presidential election, and it was announced on October 15, 2020. Running against the left-wing ticket of NotAName and XRT-17, on November 9, 2020, Sandoval and Bo were elected with 52% of the popular vote and 18 electoral votes to NotAName/XRT-17’s 11.

Leading the White House Coronavirus Committee, Bo successfully oversaw the distribution of 400 million vaccine doses nationwide and, under the Administration, the coronavirus was successfully eradicated in the United States. Furthermore, Bo regularly presided over the Senate, similar to that of both his predecessor and successor. When Sandoval underwent a medical procedure, Bo acted as President for five days in which he issued five different executive actions and, most notably, freed Salvatore Basile, an American hostage in China. Leaving office as one of the most active and influential Vice Presidents in American history, Bo was succeeded by Ian Bellinger.

Presidency

Election

Bo announced a campaign for the Presidency in the United States presidential election, March 2021 on January 27, 2021. He won the nomination of the Libertarian-Republican Party without opposition on February 15, 2021, and selected Senator Ian Bellinger as his running mate.

He ran against Senate Majority Leader Epsilon Leclair and Speaker of the House Rose McAlister, the nominees of the Left Coalition, in a contentious election. Bo won, taking 18 electoral votes to Leclair’s 12, carrying the states of Dixie and Puerto Rico, as well as the District of Columbia. Bo lost the national popular vote, taking 48.17% to Leclair’s 50.99%, becoming the only President since 2018 to be elected without it.

Tenure

Bo was sworn in by Chief Justice Thanos May on March 12, 2021. In general, his Presidency was marked by the revival of both the Libertarian consensus in American politics and the Libertarian-Republican Party in and of itself, with the party having its best election results ever during his term. He issued the most executive actions than any Presidency since 2018, and led his Administration sponsoring and passing more bills than any of the three Administrations which preceded him.

Specifically, Bo effectively abolished Medicare, Medicaid, and the federal public option in favor of a block grant to the states; increased the federal Universal Basic Income program; repealed the three strikes statute; repealed the Women’s Healthcare Act in favor of a conditional grant based on contraception and sexual education access; expanded apprenticeship opportunities; granted tax relief to workers’ co-operatives; and provided subsidization for employment vouchers. He and his Administration also dissolved the Department of Agriculture; gave $2,500 to every postpartum woman; offloaded uninhabited American territories; made Juneteenth a federal holiday; and allowed for the suspension of the provisions of the International Reciprocity Act.

Bo issued orders to establish the President’s Commission on Drug and Addiction Policy; establish the Office of Health Emergency Preparedness; end the Mexico City Policy; ban the usage of tear gas and rubber bullets by federal officers; audit the Department of Veterans Affairs; proclaim April 20 as Weed Freedom Day; extend Secret Service protection to numerous federal officials; break the Gilead patent on pre-exposure prophylaxis; expand opportunities for immigration from nations where LGBTQ+ individuals are at greater risk for harm or persecution; establish the White House Office of LGBTQ+ Youth Safety and Policy; reform criminal regulation promulgation; and stop; the United States' participation in the United Nations Security Council. His Administration also successfully renegotiated the Memorandum of Understanding with the People’s Republic of China, retaining their membership in the Nuclear Disarmament Treaty, and is regarded as one of the most internationally active Administrations since 2018.

To handle the oil crisis which came as a result of the attack on Saudi Aramco, Bo was one of the few federal officials to properly address the crisis and, through executive order, suspended a previous prohibition of fracking on federal land and opened American oil reserves, both successfully providing price decreases. He and his Administration, along with Representative Tedd Ddet, passed legislation to provide direct relief payments to low income Americans; expand the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program for the duration of the crisis; support both the federal and state governments weaning off of the usage of fossil fuels; and amend the statutory ban on fracking on federal lands to postpone the end cutoff.

Regarded as one of the most partisan Presidencies in modern history, Bo successfully enacted his Administration’s goals in both budgets passed in Congress despite objections from the opposition by playing an aggressive role in the legislative process. In April, when he did reach a compromise with the Left Coalition majority in the House of Representatives and Senate, they faced backlash from their own caucus, but Bo’s proposal, containing a massive reduction in the scope of the federal government with respect to healthcare, passed both chambers. In June, Bo submitted, in coalition with the Workers’ Party and Speaker Purdy, a budget containing no provisions from the Left Coalition majority in the House of Representatives, and faced backlash as a result of it. With the Left Coalition notably attempting to abolish the federal Universal Basic Income, which Bo sought to expand, Bo threatened to refuse signature on any other bills and, hours before a shut-down, the budget containing two minor provisions from the Left Coalition, and all of his Administration’s provisions intact, passed with Bo’s signature. When his nominee to be a Commissioner of the Federal Election Commission, Global Labour Party member Rose McAlister, sat in the Senate by proxy hours following her confirmation, Bo refused to sign her Commission, blocking her from taking office.

When Justice Yimir resigned in the middle of voting for the July, 2021, federal election, despite Congress being adjourned, Bo recess appointed his predecessor, Attorney General, President pro tempore, and Senator Omarosa Sandoval to the vacant seat, with him taking office less than five hours following Yimir’s resignation. On his third to last day in office, Dallas Evelyn attempted a coup in Puerto Rico as a result of the July, 2012, Presidential election results. In a response, Bo federalized the Puerto Rican National Guard and appointed Cabin Fever as Provisional Governor of Puerto Rico.

Bo was succeeded by Howard Elkridge, with his Vice President, Ian Bellinger, elected to a second term.

District Court for Dixie and Jefferson

When the United States District Court for Dixie, Jefferson, and Puerto Rico (now the United States District Court for Dixie and Jefferson) was formed, Bo was nominated by President Howard Elkridge to be the Chief Judge thereof. Confirmed on August 10, 2021, Bo resigned from all other positions a day later to take office. Issuing multiple consequential rulings, Bo found the structure of the Federal Open Market Committee unconstitutional, found various provisions of the For the People Act unconstitutional, and issued the framework for jurisprudence on the 42nd Amendment. He resigned on December 23, 2021, citing the inactivity of the Malcolm Administration shortly before announcing a campaign for the Senate.

Supreme Court of the United States

When Justice Omarosa Sandoval announced his resignation, President Tedd Ddet announced Bo as his appointee to replace him. Bo was confirmed on April 14, 2022, and was sworn in a day later. He sat by designation, during his tenure, on the U.S. District Court for the North and the District of Columbia.

Bo resigned on December 17, 2022.

Political Beliefs

Originally campaigning as a moderate, Bo is regarded as having drifted more partisan and more right leaning throughout his term as both Vice President and President, but has maintained socially liberal stances on topics such as abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial equality, while being more right-leaning on the economy, welfare, and the size and scope of the federal government.

Personal Life

Married to his wife, Amanda, he has two children, Carolann and Henry. Bo’s primary residence is Edwards, Jefferson, but has a secondary residence in Arlington, Dixie.
