	The president of Libertas Omnium Maximus is officially the nation's head of state and commander-in-chief of all armed forces, and wields the most unilateral authority of any role in the Maximusian federal government. Assisted by his cabinet, comprised of the heads of the nation's various federal bureaus, the president is tasked with seeing to the fair and expedient execution of law. The president can appoint ~~or dismiss most~~ judges, ambassadors, and officials in government at his discretion, though the Provincial Council can ~~sometimes~~ step in and bar ~~certain~~ individuals from being removed from office, usually by suing for a ''stay of dismissal''. The president also has the ability to line-item veto legislation presented to his or her office by the Provincial Council, and can recommend legislation for review by the Maximusian High Court if he believes it violates the Maximusian Constitution (or as a tactic to stall the progression of the bill). It is rarely politically advantageous to do so, but the president retains the discretion to call a nationwide referendum on proposed legislation, should he exhaust the line-item veto and constitutional review and still wish to quash the bill. There are a number of ways in which the Senate can override the president's veto, but doing so generally requires a supermajority of both legislative chambers.

	The president's cabinet consists of the heads, usually called "directors," of the Maximusian government's federal-level bureaus, who advise the president and are, in turn, given instruction on how to operate their respective ministries by the executive. As cabinet-member turnover is considered "uniquely disruptive to the administration of the nation," cabinet members enjoy a high degree of job security, and are usually only dismissed in cases of egregious conduct or fundamental disagreement with the president. Importantly, unlike many other directorial positions within government, cabinet members cannot be impeached by the Provincial Council, as it is seen as an encroachment on the executive's authority. As a result, some presidents have created new cabinet positions in order to place controversial bureaucrats out of the reach of the Provincial Council. Currently, the Presidential Cabinet consists of 15 directors.

	In the event that the president dies or becomes permanently incapacitated, such as by having stroke, experiencing rapid cognitive decline, or falling into a coma, he or she is promptly replaced by the Vice-President of Libertas Omnium Maximus, currently, ~~Howard Slater~~. After assuming office, the vice-president serves out the remainder of the deceased president's term without any special limitations or stipulations. Such an event has only occurred once, when Walter Halifax was assassinated in 1923. Samuel Wilson, Halifax's vice-president, served out the remainder of Halifax's term, leaving office in 1925.

	The president's salary was initially set at $1000 per year in 1840 (around $40,000 today), but that has since increased to around $250,000.

The official residence and office of the president is [[Maximusian Presidential Estate\|17 Warbler Place]], a historic neoclassical manor house in [[Litudinem]], which has a permanent wait and security staff, paid for by the state. The president is also given a per-diem stipend of an unknown amount, which he or she may use for discretionary purchases.

The president of Libertas Omnium Maximus is officially the nation's head of state and commander-in-chief of all armed forces, and wields the most unilateral authority of any role in the Maximusian federal government. Assisted by his cabinet, comprised of the head's of the nation's various Bureaus, the president is tasked with seeing to the fair and expedient execution of law. The president can appoint or dismiss most judges, ambassadors, and officials in government at his discretion, though the Provincial Council can sometimes step in and bar certain individuals from being removed from office, usually by suing for a ''stay of dismissal''. The president also has the ability to line-item veto legislation presented to his or her office by the Provincial Council, and can recommend legislation for review by the Maximusian High Court if he believes it violates the Maximusian Constitution. It is rarely politically advantageous to do so, but the president retains the discretion to call a nationwide referendum on proposed legislation, should he exhaust the line-item veto and constitutional review and still wish to quash the bill.

	The president's cabinet consists of the heads, usually called "directors," of the Maximusian government's federal-level bureaus, who advise the president and are, in turn, given instruction on how to operate their respective ministries by the executive. As cabinet-member turnover is considered "uniquely disruptive to the administration of the nation," cabinet members enjoy a high degree of job security, and are usually only dismissed in cases of egregious conduct or fundamental disagreement with the president. Importantly, unlike many other directorial positions within government, cabinet members cannot be impeached by the Provincial Council, as it is seen as an encroachment on the executive's authority. As a result, some presidents have created new cabinet positions in order to place controversial bureaucrats out of the reach of the Provincial Council. Currently, the Presidential Cabinet consists of 15 directors.
