President

President is a common title for the head of state in most republics, or for a head of government in many monarchies on EarthMC. The president of a nation is, generally speaking, the head of the government and the fundamental leader of the country or the ceremonial head of state.

The functions exercised by a president vary according to the form of government. In parliamentary republics, they are usually, but not always, limited to those of the head of state and are thus largely ceremonial. In presidential and semi-presidential republics, the role of the president is more prominent, encompassing also (in most cases) the functions of the head of government. In many monarchies on EMC, the title of President is used for an elected head of government separate from the Monarch that heads an executive cabinet. In authoritarian regimes or ones without elections, a dictator or leader of a one-party state may also be called a president. Many nations on EarthMC, whether they be republics, dictatorships, and monarchies, use the title of President in some part of their government, and the methods for which these Presidents hold their office differ greatly, from direct and indirect elections, to presidents for life.
