The President of Zamastan is the executive head of state of The Imperial Republic of Zamastan. The President is elected by Zamastanian citizens every election cycle for a two-year term, which they can renew and unlimited number of times if they are elected to that position. The President serves as the head of state, commander of the Zamastanian Armed Forces, and have power to delay bills and to speed their passage into legal legislation, assuming that a bill has passed the Congress Chamber by a 2/3 majority. Another important role of the President is to be Zamastan's chief representative and to decide Zamastan's vote in international groups such as the World Assembly. The President is able to assume more decision-making power in one of several strictly defined times of emergency. The 12th and current President is Zacharias Castovia, who was elected in 2015 in an emergency election due to the passing of President Cassious Castovia. He assumed the Presidency on January 1st, 2016, and was reelected in 2018.
As of the passing of former President Elene Abotsford on December 1st, 2018, there are now three living Presidents, one being the current (Zacharias Castovia) and the others being former Presidents Quinn Werner and Aiden Avery.
Origin
Following the Zamastan War of Independence, representatives from all the allied rebel factions decided to combine their self-governed groups under one government, to be headed by several elected individuals overseen by a democratically chosen head, desiring to avoid anything that remotely resembled a monarchy. Tomias Hapson, known for his inspiring leadership during the war, was the principle choice. Thus, the framing of the Constitution of Zamastan began to be formed by the congress, and Hapson was chosen as the President of Zamastan.
Election
The president is elected indirectly by the voters of each district through popular election on Election Day (September 22nd on every even-ended year).
