Reason 1: The name of US President in the fanfic is Max Tate

Directed by Ema Maeda
Additional Directions by Taichi Yagami
A whole crowd of Anime characters were walking into Tokyo University's Hall as the candidates prepare for the debate. 'Inside Japan' Reporters Eriol Hiragizawa and Kasumi Yawa were giving their report on the coverage of the debates.
Eriol: On the very last day before the voting begins, the two Presidential candidates will be in one last debate in order to gain the support of the Citizens of Japan.
Kasumi: Yes. According to the opinion polls, the two candidates are at 50 percent each. It could go either way, Eriol.
Eriol: Yes, and later on 'Inside Japan', we will show you the latest images of the famous Hollywood Tama-chan in Okinawa...
The citizens of Japan (mostly made up of Anime Characters) were making their way to the seats to watch the debate. Naru, Shinobu, Su and Sarah were sitting near the front when the Chairman of the Pudding Political Party, Kero, was carrying a bag and he flew to an empty seat between Sarah and Su.
"Mind if I sit here?" Kero asked. "I got some pudding."
At the mention of "pudding", Su and Sarah quickly let Kero sit between them as they shared the cartons of pudding from Kero's bag.
Keitaro and Taichi were backstage, preparing for their final debate.
Taichi starts his speech.
"People of Japan. Just remember one thing. 'Taichi Yagami cares for Digimon and People'. After all, what would you get from a now unemployed Inn Owner. A policy for just the middle-income earners? What about those who are highly paid? All he cares about is his own Inn. Nothing for the people of Japan! Oh, and vote for me tomorrow. Thank you." Taichi bowed.
"You liar!" Kero yelled out and threw his carton of pudding at Taichi. Taichi dodged the carton and Motoko quickly ran towards Sarah and arrested her. Kero was either out of sight or pretending to be a stuffed animal.
"Hey! I didn't throw the pudding carton! It was the stuffed animal!" Sarah protested as Motoko escorted Sarah out of the hall...
Kanako motions Taichi to come to her.
"What?" Taichi asked.
"I think its time that we must tell the truth," Kanako said.
"Sure," Taichi said. "It's now or never."
Taichi got back on stage. "Stop the debate! I have just received some important information."
Everyone including Keitaro looked at Taichi. Motoko and Sarah stopped and looked back at the stage.
"The truth is that Keitaro Urashima is nothing more than a fraud. Kanako Urashima made a mistake on the application form and ended up putting Keitaro's name on the form. And not only that, Kanako had offered defect to the Totally Digital Party and sabotage Keitaro's campaign in order to hand the election over to me."
"Kanako Urashima!"
At that instant, Kero was floating over the audience, magically holding a chair over his head.
"I'm gonna kill you, Kanako!"
Motoko, Sarah, Su and Shinobu quickly held Kero and the chair back. But the first thing Kanako sees is Naru's fist that sends Kanako flying through a wall. Taichi calmly walked off the stage and walks to Kanako.
"You traitor. Wait till I tell them about your bribe..." Kanako threatened
But Taichi said, "Bribe? What bribe? Oh, the bribe that you agreed to take 10 percent of. Oh well...take it easy, Kanako."
Taichi walks towards the exit and Keitaro was alone on stage.
"I have nothing more to say. I am going to withdraw from the campaign..."
"You can't," a voice said.
Keitaro looks up and sees Kitsune at Taichi's pedestal. Then, she realises that she's on the stage in front of the audience.
"Oh, I'm Konno Mitsune. One of the campaigners for Keitaro Urashima. Listen, even though it was a mistake to put your name on the form, I believe its destiny that you will reopen the Hinata Inn, give back the jobs to your workers and make Japan a better place. This is your chance to change the world, Keitaro. Being President is an important job and it may have a lot of responsibilities, but if the people can believe you can do it, so can you. The final answer is lies in you. What is your answer?"
Keitaro looked at the audience, made up by the citizens of Japan...he knows that if he picks the right answer, then he would be the most powerful person in Japan.
"Keitaro! Keitaro! Keitaro!" The audience chanted.
Keitaro smiled. "Yes, I will continue on with my campaign. I will be President of Japan!"
Kanako got up from the floor, but when she sew Naru walking towards her, she quickly pretended to faint as Naru, Shinobu, Sarah, Su and even Kero walked past her got on stage. As the audience continue to chant Keitaro's name, Kero started dancing on stage, celebrating the predictable victory over the long running Totally Digital Party.
Kanako quickly got up and walked to Motoko. "You know, what do you think of me being the Mayor of Hinata City? After all, I promise to you, I will ensure that police officers will get a safe..."
Two days later
Kasumi: After a landslide victory in the Presidential Elections, Keitaro Urashima is the first President for the Pudding Political Party after a very long period of time. At this moment, he is reopening the Hinata Inn...
At the Hinata Inn, President Keitaro has just reopened the Inn. As Keitaro has become President, Naru is now in charge of the maintenance and business of the Inn and is given 50 percent ownership of the business.
"Don't worry, Naru. Maybe after 4 years I'll come back," Keitaro said. "After all. There's no place like home."
The reporters were interviewing Taichi, who was standing next to Shirai and Haitani.
Eriol: What do you have to say after losing the election, Mr. Yagami?
"Well, all I can say is that I did my best and I have no regrets."
Eriol: You had made quite a large donation for the reopening of the Inn. Why is that?
"There comes a time when someone like me must be generous and give something to the people even if I am not the President." A tomato hits Taichi on the head.
Eriol: So, will there be any enquiries into the Inn being closed down?
Taichi, Shirai and Haitani looked at President Keitaro.
"That is up to the President," Taichi said.
Keitaro looked at the trio. "It's not necessary."
Everyone was celebrating the reopening of the Hinata Inn, even with the new Mayor of West Hinata, Kanako Urashima.
Eriol: Later on 'Inside Japan', we will have coverage of the Famous Hollywood Tama-chan...
Four Years Later
Keitaro was in his office when Kitsune brought in the Presidental Elect Application form.
"Here's the application form, Mr. President," Kitsune said.
Keitaro takes the form. "Thank you, Kitsune."
"Remember, once it's sent, you cannot change it," Kitsune reminded.
"Of course. I'll take care of it."
Kitsune leaves the room as Keitaro writes on the form.
Kitsune was leaving the President's House and was making her way home.
Keitaro finished with the form and puts it on the fax machine and pressed send.
"That should teach her for ruining four years of my life..."
Keitaro leaves the room, as the form was being faxed over to the Election Commission.
The name on the form: "Konno Mitsune"
End
Some Explanations for those who read the fanfic without looking at the third chapter...
President: "I am well aware that Japan has no President as its head of state. I know Japan has an Emperor and a Prime Minister, but here's the reason why I choose to put in the President of Japan. The intention is that if I have a fictitious President of Japan, then it wouldn't seem very offensive, but I guess you would end up either offending one side or the other and I'd usually prefer not to offend any side. Plus, I got the fanfic idea of giving Japan a President after seeing a manga about Japan having its own President, but I never read it though. Plus not to mention that the main characters are Anime Characters, so there."
Taichi Yagami: "He's the main character of Digimon Adventure 01, for those who don't know and don't care. But you can choose to ignore this if you hate Digimon, because the reason why I place him as the 'bad guy' is because he's perfect for the role. At the end of Digimon Adventure 02 (which I have guts to admit that I partially hate how it ended), he was the UN ambassador for the DigiWorld (which I'm alright about). Being a politician was perfect for Tai to campaign for the role as the President of Japan."
The Inn: "Keitaro officially owns the Hinata Inn, if you have read volume 14 of the Love Hina Manga. However, Shirai and Haitani closed down the inn because they believed that robots can replace the staff of the Inn, just to make more money and stole the compensation that belongs to the staff, with half of it given away as a donation into Taichi's campaign."
