***An Informal Resignation***
Uncle Sam
Now that I have a bit more time to actually publish something I have a few things I'd like to say about my resignation as president.
My Resignation, forced or not?
I in fact did come to congress last Friday night asking to be impeached. I did this because I could not handle the political crap that gets thrown each different direction every time I make a decision. While I did lack in communication with people at times, I realized that there wasn't going to be much room to get out of the negative spotlight. So I asked congress in their chat room to impeach me so that I could resign while having a president to still run the country. While people thought I was just venting that night, I was in fact being completely rational in my decision.
Unfortunately, I was on a camping trip for the past few days and unable to get onto the computer to see that my resignation was public or official. Much to my displeasure, I return home only to find that there is an impeachment proposal. While seeing the vote gave me a sign of relief, I was also upset that public opinion would be that I had been impeached instead of resigned. Not ending this on my own terms is the only downside for me.
As I leave office
I wish Scrabman luck with his half term coming up. Many thoughts went through my head. I could easily pull a Franco and steal a lot of treasury money. I could open up many battles at once and screw over USA relations with other countries. I could have done quit a few things to spite the country that has so bitterly attacked me when I was trying to leave in peace.
That however is a decision I decided to go against, simply because it is not what's best for the country. I could spend all the time I wanted getting revenge, but what for? No, even though my exit from office seems forced, I will exit with dignity.
Now there are many things left undone from the work behind closed doors from my administration. Many positive actions that many people won't ever know just because that information can not be made public. Deals with Romania, Peace treaties still needing to be signed. Things that have been in the works, but never made public. I will impart this knowledge to Scrabman when we have a chance to talk about it.
-Uncle Sam-
Ex-USA President

LOL @ FONTENELLE, nice, very nice. There's not much class here folks
Thanks for being honorable about the treasury, Sam.
This Fail unfolds to unthinkable hights ahaha
Its official, the Impeachment vote is successfull, not that it really matters, just this can now be a Formal resignation?
Lol Sam, I for one at least had fun with the war.
Good Luck where you decide to go on to
=[
The war was definitely fun... until President TeenieBopper decided to ignore the strategy advice of his Generals and make a mess out of it.
Thanks for the experience, Sam. Now go focus on your social life, please.
Will you come on my podcast maybe? when you have more time. For old times sake, I wont bash you.
Things would have been better for the both of us if we had won against Roby back in October.
bye bye
Who knows what your going to do next.
Ciao!
No silly article about witnessing your own impeachment?
Resignation 😕= impeachment
Good luck to wherever your feet take you Uncle Sam.
Good luck to wherever your feet may take you Uncle Sam.
Sam, why don't you change your newspaper's title to "The Traitor's Confessions" 🙂
You could make some money from publishing you memoirs - "Milking the eUSA for lulz and profit".
How about a political science textbook - "The Egomaniac's Guide to Abusing Power".
Also some lectures will probably attract a good deal of attention:
Uncle Sam's How NOT to Run a Country 101
Vox Populi - who gives a damn about it
etc. 🙂
Sorry such shitty people were in the irc with you....
Forced resignation < inevitable impeachment. This resignation came out minutes prior to the 31st vote for Sam's impeachment was cast. Votes in opposition to Sam's impeachment were, at the time, eight, and are currently nine.
This doesn't change a damn thing. Infact, this only serves to conjure memories of your retreat from Mexico, Sam. Just because you avoid an inevitability doesn't mean your actions can be considered some sort of victory.
You won't be missed.
Well, the voting period is over but the proposal is still pending.

"Guys, DO NOT IMPEACH UNCLE SAM. He has done nothing wrong, you idiots!"
Proof that Congress got it right.
You can't quit, you're fired!
Just kidding. This sure is a bad way to go out 🙁 I wish that you would've been given the opportunity to resign.
Yeah, social life. Sure. Didn't have anything to do with impending and certain impeachment.
"I am not looking for pitty, nor do I have any desire to resign"
Come chill in Russia with me.
I wonder how the eUSA will do now that Scrabman is president.
Hey look closely its not Uncle Sam its Chuck Norris...
no wait Chuck is'nt quiter

FAIL MEN
This resignation has such a strong IRL feel to it - politicians always fight tooth and nail to keep their position, but once fired or forced to resign they will announce they are actually quitting of their own will due to personal issues or health problems.
Sam, denial is weak, so this goodbye article is very week, totally in tone with your whole presidency.
You're a nobody now. Unsubscribe and out ...
Thank you for serving this nation under even the most grim of circumstances, Sam.
It was rough. But now we can all breathe and clear our minds of the past.
Well, I hope you stick around in America, Sam. You're probably a strong soldier. You are needed!
Your fired!!!
you will be missed.
Though I've never voted for you (you're too left wing for my tastes😁, I'm disgusted by congress' actions. There has been nothing but anti-Sam propaganda the last few weeks, and I saw NOTHING wrong with the way you handled the tanks-to-Romania situation. I definitely would not blame you if you were to pull a Franco on us.
As for me (not that anyone cares), I'll be moving soon to a country where hopefully congress isn't populated by a bunch of easily manipulated whining children, and the president is not a commie
Take care Sam, you did your best.
Bye Bye Uncle Scam. I hope your replacement all the best in working with congress (Unlike you), working with the companies out there (unlike you) and working with the military (again unlike you who funded your friends and shit on the rest of us).
Please do us all a favor and NEVER run for any office again. Your past mistakes will keep comming back to spite you.
This was a phail attempt to leave with any honor
Bye sammy i stood by you for as long as i could but you ruined it with the gold spending.
im NG so i know we are neglcted but taking money from the marines so so your beta-giants can tank was just assainine
Goodbye Uncle Sam.
Gonna miss you Sam 😉
You were one of my favorite presidents for sure.
