2006: With U.S. troops dying in record numbers in the Iraqi civil war, the American public's disgust with the Bush Administration is palpable. Even with the president's recent admission (after the nation's fifth mega-hurricane disaster) that global warming is real and his belated move to allow federal funding of the new stem-cell cures developed in Europe and Asia, his poll numbers continue to fall. In the November mid-term elections, Cindy Sheehan (the woman widely credited with kick starting the anti-Iraq-occupation movement) is swept into the U.S. Senate along with Democratic majorities in both houses. Long overdue investigations begin in earnest, and President George W. Bush is impeached and convicted in early 2007. Vice President Dick Cheney resigns immediately (having already cut a deal) to avoid Halliburton-related prosecutions.
