| The '''president of Mava''', officially the '''President of the Republic of Mava''' (Mavean: ''Lippikágak á’at Naigál'yaké 'a Máva'') is the head of state of [[Mava]]. The president is elected by the [[Assembly of Mava|Assembly]] for a term of three years, which may be renewed. By convention, the president is jointly nominated by the [[Prime Minister of Mava|Prime Minister]] and the Leader of the Opposition in order to ensure the absence of political preference or partisanship. The current president, since 11 January 2023, is Nua Kiuiáké
| |
| | |
| The office was established as an interim position in the Mavean Independence Act, passed by the Atitlanese Congress. The position was formalised and made permanent in the 1925 constitution, which established a presidential system of government. Reforms in 1943, following the death of inaugural president Kuráva Tanigak, transformed the position into a ceremonial office and transferred executive powers to the government. Since then, the president has served as a "symbol of the unity of the people of the Republic", with little direct role in day-to-day governance.
| |
| | |
| The powers of the president include the appointment of the prime minister and government, the summoning and dissolving of the Assembly, and the promulgation of laws. These powers are exercised through the Council of State, an advisory body to the president.
| |
| | |
| ==Role==
| |
| Unlike many parliamentary republics, the president is not nominal chief executive, sharing executive powers with the government and exercising only executive powers explicitly delegated to them. The principal role of the president is to represent the nation and the people, and to serve as a focal point for national unity and continuity. Although the president has limited political power, they are responsible for maintaining constitutional government and the rule of law.
| |
| Under the Constitution, the president's formal duties include the following:
| |
| * Executive authority: Certain executive functions are vested in the president on the advice of the Council of State.
| |
| * Appointment of the Cabinet: the [[Prime Minister of Mava|Prime Minister]] is appointed by the president following a confirmatory vote in the Assembly; ministers are appointed by the president on the nomination of the prime minister.
| |
| * Summoning and dissolution of the legislature: The president summons and dissolves the [[Assembly of Mava|Assembly]] on the advice of the Council of State.
| |
| * Promulgating laws: The president is formally one of the two components of the Legislature of Mava, along with the Assembly. No bill becomes law until it has been promulgated by the president. The president does not have the power to veto legislation, although they may refer laws for judicial reviews. Laws ruled to be unconstitutional are automatically vetoed without the action of the president.
| |
| * Appointment of judicial officers: All judges and senior judicial officers are appointed by the President on the advice of the Minister of Justice. The Mavean Law Society makes recommendations to the Minister.
| |
| * Supreme command of the armed forces: The president serves as Commander-in-Chief of the Mavean Armed Forces and is responsible for appointments, commissions, and for formal declarations of war and peace.
| |
| * Fount of honour: The president is responsible for the awarding of all honours bestowed by the Mavean state.
| |
| The president weilds no direct influence in the government, but may exercise informal influence by power of their reputation and personality. The relationship between the president and the prime minister often determines the president's influence.
| |
| | |
| ==Oath of office==
| |
| The President of Mava is required to take an oath of allegiance to the Constitution of Mava as well as to the Mavean people before being permitted to assume their office. The oath of allegiance is as follows:
| |
| | |
| {{blockquote|"I, [Name], do solemly affirm true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the Republic of Mava as by law established, and that I will well and truly serve the People of the Republic of Mava in the office of President. [So help me God]."}}
