Synopsis
Beautia begins her campaign to be elected President of the United States, and Sivana tells her that once she is elected, he will have every government official murdered, every citizen executed who didn't vote for her, steal all the gold from the U.S. Treasury, and blow up the White House, replacing it with a palace for her.
