The Compromise of 2024 was a series of deals struck between sitting president Jeffrey Meena and the United States House of Representatives that yielded in Meena being granted a second term in office despite not winning 270 Electoral College votes.

These debates, which sometimes devolved into physical altercations, resulted in the independence of the Principality of The Flahamas, the Land O' Lakes, and Washington, DC. Seventeen people either died or were granted Super Death.

Oopsies, the Electoral College Wasn't Supposed to Do That! (November 2024)

When the 2024 United States Presidential Election yielded in no candidate gaining over 270 electoral votes, chaos erupted. The election was sent to the House of Representatives, where each state was to pick a candidate by a consensus of the house districts. The opposition parties, the Witch's Coven Party and the Neoliberal Sonic Fans' Party knew their only chance at preventing a second term for Jeffrey Meena was to unite together. After several days of argument, the Sonic Fans relented and offered a new ticket - Adelheid Smith for President, and Sharon Kay for Vice President. This unified opposition yielded 215 electoral votes, just shy of Jeffrey Meena's 218-vote plurality. But the question still remained - what would the secessionist states do?

In some shady, smoke-filled room, Marco Rubio of the Flahamas Movement, Akifumi Shimoda of Independent DC and Salazar O'Conner of the Land O' Lakes Movement met with Jeffrey Meena and offered their support for him in the house vote, in exchange for granting them independence. When this was revealed to the public, the opposition declared this action unconstitutional. When the consensus of the majority decided "Yeah it is," the opposition declared that they would not recognize the votes of the seceding states, as they wished to leave the union in general.

This put extreme pressure on House Speaker Charles Sumner Jagodzinski.

The Caning of Jagodzinski (December 2024)

Jagodzinski had originally been a Republican before switching to the We Love America Yay Party in 2021, swayed by President Meena's passion for caffeine. After the 2022 Midterm Election, he found himself Speaker of the House, supported by Sonic Fans and We Love America Yay members alike. He truly had no idea what he had gotten himself into.

The prospect of allowing several states, and the federal district that housed the government, to leave the Union for the sake of allowing Jeffrey Meena to hold a second term in office was utterly baffling to him. Little did he know that there was a force beyond his understanding pulling the strings.
