Editing Presidency of Marinio (section)

==Election of August 2013==
Marinio ran in the 2013 election as a Republican, the first presidential election held after Nightgaladeld took control of the group back from Moolah60. While Marinio was directly responsible for giving Moolah60 the group, he did it on the orders of Nightgaladeld who wanted Moolahg0 to hold the group until he regained control of his account. Marinio remained in the group during [[Moolah60's Rebellion|Moolah60’s coup]], but did not directly support him.<ref>https://archive.froast.io/forum/110237911</ref>

As soon as he retook the group, Nightgaladeld ordered a new presidential election to be held to replace Moolah60. Marinio, then the Attorney General, announced his candidacy on August 15, 2013 with former director of the National Security Agency and National Security Advisor, Lumidas, as his [[Vice President of the United States|Vice Presidential]] candidate. Their platform was based on stabilizing the government from the coup, civil service reform, reform of the state system, and enforcement of the Bill of Rights.<ref>https://archive.froast.io/forum/109898687</ref>

Nightgaladeld opened voting for the election on August 25, 2013 in a public forum post for the sake of transparency<ref>https://archive.froast.io/forum/111064243</ref>, and on August 26, 2013, Marinio was declared the winner, with 163, 64.6% of the vote. The second place candidate, Brian987987, had 100 votes less with only 63 votes or 25%, losing by over 38 points.<ref>https://archive.froast.io/forum/111195807</ref>

Marinio was sworn in as president of the United States and Lumidas as vice president on the same day by the Founder of the group, Nightgaladeld, himself.
