Video Games: Democracy Edition
Not too long ago an interesting question was proposed. Who would take the individual offices of the state if video game characters ran the United States government?
The rules were simple. The nominees could not be characters that originated in other media, or people that existed in real life. Sorry Spongebob and Madden, perhaps you can form your own super team and take over Cuba. I hear that place is beautiful in the summertime.
Also, the nominees must fit their position of power. No nominating Cloud for president just because he is everyone’s favorite emo kid. So without further ado, I bring you your new heads of office.

What kind of courage does it take to get beat that many times and still have the guts to enter that ring?
