President of Enderron

The President of the Republic of Enderron is the head of state of Enderron. The position is largely ceremonial, although the office holder has the right to exercise limited reserve powers with absolute discretion. The President appoints the Prime Minister of Enderron and the Cabinet of Enderron, and acts as a representative of the Enderronian nation and an upholder of the constitution.

The President is directly elected by popular vote every six years, and office holders are allowed to serve a maximum of two terms. The Presidency is officially a non-partisan office; although candidates may be nominated by political parties or through petition by voters, they must resign from any party memberships while in office. The position replaced the Governor-General of Enderron on 9 August 1970, when Enderron became a republic.

The current President of Enderron is James Stanhope, since 1 May 2012.
