Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a shocking turn of events that has left Capitol Hill buzzing with conspiracy theories and late-night talk show hosts salivating at the prospect of fresh material, President Ego Stroke's Science Advisor, Dr. Theodoric Rutherfurd Cranium III, abruptly tendered his resignation today. The announcement came during a heated congressional hearing where Dr. Cranium was grilled by a bipartisan committee over the alleged misuse of taxpayer funds to conduct "fringe" science experiments, including but not limited to, the creation of sentient houseplants capable of political analysis and the cloning of endangered species with an affinity for reality television.

The controversy, dubbed "Operation Leafy Lobby," erupted when an anonymous tip led investigators to Dr. Cranium's secret laboratory hidden beneath the National Mall, a lair replete with oscilloscopes, beakers the size of bathtubs, and enough potting soil to host a garden party for every member of Congress. The lab, it was revealed, was not only a hotbed of botanical genius but also a breeding ground for political pundits with chlorophyll-infused blood.

The House Science Committee, chaired by the fiery Congresswoman Fierce Firebrand (D-Vegetable), and her Senate counterpart, the stoic Senator Calm Seas (R-Tidal Wave), were quick to condemn the experiments as a waste of resources and a clear violation of the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, implying that sentient plants could potentially hold an entire political party financially accountable.

In a statement, Dr. Cranium maintained his innocence, claiming the experiments were merely "exploratory research" into the potential for plants to provide unbiased political commentary. He argued that the sentient flora were capable of offering "fresh perspectives" on policy, a notion that was met with a collective eye-roll from both sides of the aisle.

As the dust settles and the Capitol's horticulturist begins the process of euthanizing the now-notorious talking plants, the nation watches with bated breath to see who will replace the embattled Dr. Cranium. Will the next Science Advisor usher in a new era of scientific inquiry, or will they be too busy ensuring that no further experiments lead to a cabal of leafy legislators? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: the next Capitol garden party is bound to be an event of unprecedented political intrigue and botanical intelligence.

Can't get enough of politics? Play Impeached 2 and become President of the U.S. today!
