President of the United States

The President of the United States (POTUS) is the head of state and head of government of the  United States of America. The president directs the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.

In contemporary times, the president is looked upon as one of the world's most powerful political figures and as the leader of the only remaining global superpower. The role includes responsibility for the world's most expensive military that has the second-largest nuclear arsenal. The president also leads the nation with the largest economy by nominal GDP. The president possesses significant domestic and international hard and soft power.

Article II of the Constitution establishes the executive branch of the federal government. It vests the executive power of the United States in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of federal law, alongside the responsibility of appointing federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial officers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers with the advice and consent of the Senate. The president is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves and to convene and adjourn either or both houses of Congress under extraordinary circumstances. The president directs the foreign and domestic policies of the United States and takes an active role in promoting his policy priorities to members of Congress. In addition, as part of the system of checks and balances, Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto federal legislation. The power of the presidency has grown substantially since its formation, as has the power of the federal government as a whole.

Through the Electoral College, registered voters indirectly elect the president and vice president to a four-year term. This is the only federal election in the United States which is not decided by popular vote. Nine vice presidents became president by virtue of a president's intra-term death or resignation.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 sets three qualifications for holding the presidency: natural-born U.S. citizenship; at least thirty-five years of age; and residency in the United States for at least fourteen years.

On August 5th, Veto powers and the ability to add signatures to bills was added to Respublica.

Rotation Government
The first full rotation government took place from August 3rd, 2020 to August 17th of that same year, when a joint Republican-NUP Government led a rotation midway through president Pearl's term, appointing Azerius Sevarius as president, the move was controversial albeit uncontested due to the lack of an impeachment mechanic.

It had already been discussed before within internal circles of the NUP, Republican party, and multiple other parties.

Second Rotation Government
The Second Rotation government occurred during the presidencies of Alexander Choon and Annabeth Chase from October 12 to October 26, 2020. Chase resigned 10 minutes after she was elected, and was appointed to the Vice Presidency until the 19th when Choon resigned and handed the presidency back to Chase. Reform and Republican politicians circled the administration like hyenas and Choongate was first uttered.

Coalition Government
Almost every American government is a Coalition Government, in which multiple parties receive cabinet spots in exchange for supporting the major party in charge, Hiro Cox's August 2020 Government was a Coalition with the Worker's Party, and the previous government under Larry David included both the Green and Worker's Parties.
