President of Phoenexium

The President of the Republic of Phoenexium is one of the two Heads of State and Heads of Government, along with the Consul. The President is voted by direct, ranked-choice popular vote on the first day of each month, and lasting until the 3rd of each month. The President shares executive powers with the Consul, and shares the powers to veto legislation, issue executive orders, and establish a department once per term. The President has a more checks-and-balances spread of powers. The President's powers, according to the Constitution, include: the power to dissolve Congressional committees, the power to appoint a Cabinet, and the power to appoint Supreme Court Justices to the Supreme Court of Phoenexium.

Since August 4th, 2021, Pan has held the title as Fifth President of Phoenexium.

Establishment of a Modern Constitution
Following the abolishment of the monarchy and the establishment of a new Republican Constitution of Phoenexium, Ruggum, the author of the Constitution, announced the creation of a new executive position separate from that of the role already filled by the Prime Minister and to replace the Queen-- the President. Ruggum announced himself to be President until the nation was ready to hold an election. About a month later, on November 6th of 2020, the First Presidential Election was held after Ruggum conceded his powers the same day. A week later, the first true president of Phoenexium was elected-- Ev. The election of the first president would serve to be an important and pivotal event in the founding of the server, as it led to many discussions about how the Executive branch should be ran.

Second Presidential Election
The Second Presidential Election marked the first time that a president was voted in at the proper time as lined out in Ruggum's Constitution. It also marked the first time more than 2 candidates took interest, and the first time that "Presidential Debates" were held-- although very unprofessional-- between two of the candidates (not publicized though). Despite the lack of true publicity, each of the candidates submitted answers to the "debate" questions posed by Ruggum. These questions were posted along with the announcement for the election; hopefully to set a precedent for all future elections. By the end of the really tough race, the incumbent President Ev was replaced by DarkSlytherin.
