The '''President of the Ambrosian Confederal Republic''' ({{wp|English language|Anglish}}: Folkƿald of Ambrose, [[Northumbric language|Northumbric]]: ᚪᛗᛒᚱᚢᚳᚪ ᚾᚸᛖᚠᚪ, ''Ambruca ngeva'') is the {{wpl|executive}} {{wp|head of state}} of [[Ambrose]]. The president also serves as the {{wp|commander-in-chief}} of the [[Confederal Armed Forces of Ambrose|Confederal Armed Forces]]. The role and nature of the office has varied considerably throughout the existence of the Confederal Republic.
 
The current president of the Confederal Republic is {{wpl|General}} [[John Frederick Cleburne]], who has served since 10 November 2013.
 
==History==
===Origins===
The office of the presidency first originated in with the [[Ambrosian Revolution#Confederation|Provisional Confederation]], an alliance of revolting [[Administrative divisions of Ambrose#Thanedred|thanedred governments]] brought together by [[Humbert Holstead]] and [[Nathaniel Gorham]] that, over the course of the [[Ambrosian Revolution]]. In the {{wpl|Articles of Confederation|Confederal Association}}, the thanedreds rejected the possibility of unilateral {{wpl|Separatism|separation}} from the [[Kingdom of Ambrosia|monarchy]], affirming their commitment to maintaining the {{wpl|perpetual union}} of Ambrose—creating the Ambrosian Confederal Republic. In the Confederal Association, the office of "President of the House Assembled" was created, and Nathaniel Gorham was appointed by the new [[House of Burgesses]] until a presidential election could be held.
 
[[File:Jean-Jacques Rousseau (painted portrait).jpg|200px|thumb|left|The office took much inspiration from [[Aucuria]]n writings, such as those of [[Bendiktas Klimantis]].]]
Taking office upon the conclusion of the revolution, Gorham quickly found the position restrictive and impotent. As established by the Association, the president had little explicitly-delegated {{wpl|executive power}}, with its most visible role as {{wpl|presiding officer}} of the House. As the House became {{wpl|Legislative gridlock|gridlocked}} and thanedreds began threatening to {{wpl|secession|revoke the Assocation}}, Gorham, along with several others, became convinced that a powerful and decisive executive was necessary.
 
Prior to the revolution, Gorham had been introduced to the writings of [[Bendiktas Klimantis]], the founder and [[President of Aucuria|inaugural president]] of the [[Aucuria|Aucurian Republic]]. With the inauguration of the {{wpl|wongress of the Confederation|Elsbridge Convention}}, intended to draft a {{wpl|constitution}} for the nation, Gorham and his supporters began agitating for the inclusion of an article defining and expanding the powers of the presidency. The {{wpl|diplomatic visit}} of then-president of Aucuria, {{wpl|Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey|Ramūnas Petkevičius}}, was a major boon to the campaign.
 
The [[Fundamental Articles]], ratified in January 1850, took significant inspiration from Article VI of the [[Constitution of Aucuria]] in its establishment of a powerful executive presidency. Gorham would die of a stroke, however, before he would be able to exercise his new powers when the constitution came into effect in November of that year.

The President of the Ambrosian Confederal Republic (Anglish: Folkƿald of Ambrose, Northumbric: ᚪᛗᛒᚱᚢᚳᚪ ᚾᚸᛖᚠᚪ, Ambruca ngeva) is the executive head of state of Ambrose. The president also serves as the commander-in-chief of the Confederal Armed Forces. The role and nature of the office has varied considerably throughout the existence of the Confederal Republic.

The current president of the Confederal Republic is General John Frederick Cleburne, who has served since 10 November 2013.

History

Origins

The office of the presidency first originated in with the Provisional Confederation, an alliance of revolting thanedred governments brought together by Humbert Holstead and Nathaniel Gorham that, over the course of the Ambrosian Revolution. In the Confederal Association, the thanedreds rejected the possibility of unilateral separation from the monarchy, affirming their commitment to maintaining the perpetual union of Ambrose—creating the Ambrosian Confederal Republic. In the Confederal Association, the office of "President of the House Assembled" was created, and Nathaniel Gorham was appointed by the new House of Burgesses until a presidential election could be held.

The office took much inspiration from Aucurian writings, such as those of Bendiktas Klimantis.

Taking office upon the conclusion of the revolution, Gorham quickly found the position restrictive and impotent. As established by the Association, the president had little explicitly-delegated executive power, with its most visible role as presiding officer of the House. As the House became gridlocked and thanedreds began threatening to revoke the Assocation, Gorham, along with several others, became convinced that a powerful and decisive executive was necessary.

Prior to the revolution, Gorham had been introduced to the writings of Bendiktas Klimantis, the founder and inaugural president of the Aucurian Republic. With the inauguration of the Elsbridge Convention, intended to draft a constitution for the nation, Gorham and his supporters began agitating for the inclusion of an article defining and expanding the powers of the presidency. The diplomatic visit of then-president of Aucuria, Ramūnas Petkevičius, was a major boon to the campaign.

The Fundamental Articles, ratified in January 1850, took significant inspiration from Article VI of the Constitution of Aucuria in its establishment of a powerful executive presidency. Gorham would die of a stroke, however, before he would be able to exercise his new powers when the constitution came into effect in November of that year.

Engaged in new and adept diplomacy, including an alliance with Swastria, leading to the Great War of the North. Successful military leadership in Lothican and Wosrac lead to the popular epithet of the "Battlefield President". Killed in action during the Siege of Asgård.
