President of the United States

The president of the United States (POTUS) is the chief executive of the United States of America. The President directs the Executive branch of the U.S. government and is Commander-in-Chief of the Royal American Armed Forces. Additionally, as the Queen is the concurrently the monarch of multiple other Commonwealth realms, the President is to serve as a liason between the Queen and the United States government. While the President is elected in a popular election, an electoral college is used instead of a popular voting system. The Queen must give royal assent to finalize the electoral college, therefore giving the monarch limited powers to decide the President. The office of President is similar to that of a Governor-General in other commonwealth realms. However, in contrast, the President is indirectly elected, and has broader powers such as a veto power over legislation.

In modern times, the office of President of the United States is looked upon as one of the most powerful positions in the world, as the United States is the only global superpower. This power includes commanding the world's most expensive military, second largest nuclear arsenal, and leading the nation with the largest economy by nominal gross domestic product. The power of the Presidential position has grown since the Great Depression, when Franklin Roosevelt used significant soft power to influence legislation which later became the New Deal. In the aftermath of World War II the position also arose to one of massive power and prestige in the United States, as the President was Commander-in-Chief, and set a strategic direction for the country. However, most modern political scholars believe that the framers of the Consitution, in particular Woodrow Wilson, sought a weak President with a stronger Prime Minister.

Article TBD establishes the executive branch of the United States, with much of the executive power of the nation being vested in the President. This power includes the execution and enforcement of all federal laws, alongside the appointment of all members of the cabinet, ambassadors, judges, and regulatory officers with the advice and consent of the Senate. Additionally, the President can also grant pardons and reprieves, with the consent of the Monarch. The President directs the foreign policy of the United States and is able to conclude treaties with foreign powers with the advice and consent of the Senate. While not originally envisioned in the Consitution, the modern-day President often shares significant power of domestic policy in the nation and promotes their agenda to Members of the Continental Congress. This power can be increased or reduced, depending on the political party of the Prime Minister. Unlike in other Commonwealth Realms, the monarch has given up the power of royal assent to the President, who has the power to assent to or veto a bill.

Article TBD, Section TBD of the United States Consitution sets three qualifications for holding the presidency; natural-born U.S. citizenship, thirty-five years of age, and residency in the United States for at least fourteen years. Section TBD further states that a President may only serve two terms, a codified precedent created by George Washington, the first President-General of the United Provinces. In total TBD people have served TBD presidencies spanning since 1904.
