Adjustments to the Articles of Federation
Adjustment ##, ratified in 1910, sets the dates and cycles for election to the Presidency and the Federal Council, with elections to be held on January 10 and assumption of office to be conducted on April 10th of every fifth year beginning from 1910. It codified the unwritten standard of conducting elections on these dates and adjusted the year of election cycles one year forward following the constitutional crisis during the Kanuha War.
Adjustment ##, ratified in 1957 following the three-term presidency of Reginald Lancaster, sets term limits on holders of the office of President. It stipulates that presidents may be elected to the office no more than twice for two five year terms, and prohibits anyone who held the office as the result of a presidential vacancy for more than two years and six months from being elected more than once.
