A committed [[Republican Party|Republican]] during his political life, he led - if not formed - the libertarian wing of the party and, over time, brought it into a majority position at the expense of the social and neo-conservative wing. Having served 12 months in elected office, from the House to the Presidency, Lamport was appointed to the Supreme Court, becoming the first politician to head the legislative, executive ''and'' judicial branch of government. By some, he is called “the late emancipator,” on account of his leadership to abolish the income tax, end 18 years of perpetual war and pass multiple landmark constitutional amendments on civil rights. To those who give a less positive assessment, on the other hand, his Administration represented a dangerous and unprecedented reduction in the size and scope of the federal government and the military power it can project abroad.
|term_end6      = October 31, 2018}} '''Lamport''' is a Republican angel sent by god to bring peace, liberty and free markets to the United States. He is known to wax poetic about his first term fight to broker a cross-party compromise in the House and pass the first balanced federal budget in 17 years: he was elected to succeed [[Butterlands]] as Speaker in the next Congress. During his second term, Lamport enacted financial reform, ended the requirement to print money to fund the deficit, passed a constitutional amendment to ban the draft, abolished capital punishment and asserted the right of Congress to authorize military action.  


=='''Philosophy'''==
He was nominated to run against Senator [[NotAName]] in the following election and won: as Chairman, Lamport led the Republican Party to its first federal majority. In the Senate, he re-enfranchised felons who complete their sentence or parole, banned civil forfeiture, repealed the tip tax, made daylight saving time permanent, recognized territorial self-determination and closed Guantanamo Bay. Lamport challenged Governor [[IndyPrez]]’s socialist “New Democratic Business Free Market Stimulus Act,” something he called the “property theft bill,” and won in the Supreme Court: it was deemed unconstitutional. When Senator [[Birdman|Apex]] was shot in December, he was elected Acting President ''pro tempore'' of the Senate in his absence and he was elected Minority Leader in the next Congress. Lamport was also nominated and confirmed as Secretary of the Treasury in the first month of his Senatorial term where he helped write and pass the second balanced federal budget in a row.
His political thinking, what some term ''Lamportarianism'', is characterized by social liberalism, economic conservatism, civil libertarianism and Georgism. As a Georgist, he is dedicated to reform the tax code so land value, and only land value, is taxed. While he abolished the income, estate and gift tax and reduced the corporate rate during his Presidency, due to federal spending in the modern era, he estimated the single tax is likely to take multiple terms to achieve. It was, however, achieved in Jefferson by Governor [[Valerie]], his former Chief of Staff, who named the budget in his honor in October, 2019.


=='''Party'''==
During his time in the House and Senate, Lamport stopped more than $3.2 trillion in new tax and spending.
Lamport was first elected to the Republican National Committee in August, 2018, while he was a member of the House. When [[Ronald Reagan II]] retired in September, he was elected Chairman and unanimously re-elected in November. He led the libertarian wing of the party and, during his second term as Chairman, the party itself was recognized as being ''primarily'' libertarian. Having achieved the first Republican majority in the federal government, Lamport decided against seeking a third term: he was succeeded by Vice Chairman [[LOTR]] in January, 2019. He was soon awarded an honorary seat on the National Committee, held until his nomination and confirmation to the Supreme Court in July, when he resigned his membership to help guarantee his independence on the bench.


=='''Congress'''==
After six months in Congress and two months in Cabinet, Lamport sought the Republican nomination to succeed [[Politophile]] as President and won.
He was sent to the House in a special election in July, 2018, at the middle point of the term. He first gained national attention when he led a strong opposition to a budget which reported a deficit. He and Speaker [[Butterlands]] were successful in their campaign to amend the bill and, instead, pass the first balanced budget in 17 years.
 
Returned to office in August, despite his party holding the minority, Lamport was unanimously elected Speaker. During his second term in the House, he passed legislation to repeal the death penalty, ban the draft, end the requirement to print money to balance the budget, which served to enable unchecked deficit spending, and assert the constitutional duty of the legislature, rather than the executive, to declare war. He is, to date, the ''last'' Speaker to serve a whole term.
 
Lamport was nominated to run against Senator [[NotAName]] in October and won with 53.5% of the vote. In the Senate, he passed legislation to re-enfranchise more than 6 million felons on the completion of their sentence or parole, repeal the tip tax, abolish the practice of civil forfeiture, recognize the right of territorial self-determination, close the base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prohibit the last constitutional vestige of slavery, as punishment for crime, and guarantee habeas corpus without the possibility of suspension by the government. While in the minority, with limited power, he was instrumental in taking down radical [[Progressive Party|Progressive]] legislation, such as the $3 trillion “Medicare for All” package, which had already passed the House. When Senator [[Apex]] was shot in a failed assassination plot in December, Lamport was elected President pro tempore and held the gavel until his return.
 
Over the course of the 7 months he served in Congress, in the House and Senate, Lamport was able to defeat more than $3.2 trillion in new spending. He and [[DisguisedJet719]] are broadly recognized as the most formidable Senators of their political era.
 
=='''Cabinet'''==
Having established a new political imperative in the House to favor a balanced budget, whenever possible, Lamport was nominated as Secretary of the Treasury by President [[Politophile]] and unanimously confirmed by the Senate in November, 2018. He managed the second balanced budget and planned the introduction of the land appreciation tax which would later prove an important step in his tax reform as President.
 
=='''White House'''==
Acclaimed as the Republican nominee for President in February, 2019, Lamport campaigned against Representative [[Sparkle]], Senator [[MichiganLefty]] and Senator [[NotAName]] in the general election. Winning every state and more than 70% of the electoral college, he was inaugurated in March with [[Patty]] as Vice President. His Administration was noted for having passed more legislation, and issued more orders and proclamations, than the last three Administrations put together.
 
Lamport implemented a 6% land value tax, completely abolished the income, estate and gift tax, cut the corporate tax by 25%, reduced spending by $300 billion and began to pay down the debt for the first time in 17 years. Above and beyond finance, his Administration finally ended the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, withdrew more than 20,000 troops posted outside the United States, repealed the Patriot Act, abolished the Department of Homeland Security, suspended government-to-government aid to dictatorships, regulated the intelligence community and negotiated a landmark disarmament treaty with the United Kingdom, Russia, China, France, India, Pakistan and North Korea to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world by 50%. He also reinstated the federal parole system, banned private imprisonment, privatized the rail and telecommunications sector, which had been nationalized by President [[Poke]], protected national parks against exploitation and granted limited rights to apes, monkeys, elephants, whales, dolphins, octopuses and squids. He was the first elected President in 40 years, since Jimmy Carter, not subject to any attempt to impeach.
 
Republicans, Progressives, Communists, Populists and Independents were all represented in his Cabinet. [[Politophile]] and [[DisguisedJet719]], who served as Secretary of State, were nominated and confirmed to the Supreme Court during his tenure. Committed to seek and serve only a single term, having accomplished each and every campaign promise made in the election, Lamport was succeeded as President by Senator [[LOTR]] with his Vice President re-elected to a second term in July.
 
=='''Supreme Court'''==
Nominated to the Supreme Court by his successor, he was confirmed as Chief Justice less than a week after leaving the White House. Joined by [[JMP]], then [[J.G.T. Webb]] and [[Patty]], the Lamport Court was the first decidedly originalist bench in 80 years. Among less momentous judgements, he authored the opinions which restored corporate personhood, following its repudiation by Butterlands v. United States, protected campaign donations under the first amendment and strengthened the interpretation of the origination clause.
 
In this role, Lamport administered the oath of office to President [[Patty]], [[MichiganLefty]] and [[d.a.barchipelago]].
 
=='''Honors'''==
He was awarded the [[Presidential Medal of Freedom]] in October and [[Congressional Gold Medal]] in November, 2019.[[Category:Biography]]
