History:

After the United States fell apart, Iowa took the advantage of seceding from the United States and declaring themselves a republic within a days after a new Constitution was drafted. The Iowa Congress consists of a hundred seat Senate while the House of Representatives consist of two hundred seats. The President of the United Counties of Iowa can serve a term of seven years while he or she can only run for two terms. The Speaker of both houses are elected by the members of the Senate and the House in a joint meeting between both groups. The current President of the United Counties of Iowa is Tyler S. Kennedy is only on his first term; He is all so a Democrat

Right now in Iowa three parties which are, The Democratic Party who rule Congress, The Iowa National Party who are the minority and the Iowa People's Party who are the third party of Congress. The Democratic Party is more liberal and even more liberal then the US Democratic Party. While the Iowa National Party is a more conservative based party while the Iowa People's Party is a mixed of liberal and conservative ideas.
