Politics and Government
President
The President's role in the government is largely ceremonial, but the President can perform various executive actions and is Chief of the Portogalan Army. Historically, the President's role was much more important, as the President was the sole person running the government. That was true until 2022, when Congress was formed. There has been only one person serving as President so far, and that is Antonio de Oliveira Salazar.
