Ariel Rubenstein served as the 50th President of the United States from 2045 to 2049, the first Jewish-American ever to hold the office. Rubenstein ran on a campaign as the first New Republican, having been a leader of the party during the Edwards and Toldson years who gained recognition for modernizing the GOP. Winning a plurality in the election of 2044 Rubenstein forged a coalition government with the Green Party, and brought an end to the Edwards Coalition that had dominated the White House for 16 years.
