The office of the Prime Minister of the Dominion of Columbia (French: Premier Ministre) is the head of the Columbian elected government and the de-facto leader of the executive branch of the Dominion of Columbia. The Prime Minister serves at the pleasure and the confidence of the Monarch and the House of Commons, and although they have no official term limit or length they are expected to only lead with the express confidence of the Monarch and Parliament. The Prime Minister is the presiding head of government and de-facto head of state, although the official head of state of the Dominion of Columbia is the Monarch represented by the Governor General, which now takes a more ceremonial role than in the past. The Prime Minister, in addition to serving the Commons, also serves at the pleasure of the monarch, and in the monarch's absence the Governor General. The Governor General rarely in modern times interferes in the business of the Prime Minister, except in certain one-off historical events.
The longest serving Prime Minister in Columbian history was Prime Minister John Adams of the Whigs, who served 24 years in the position. The current prime minister is Prime Minister Barack Obama, the first black Prime Minister in the history of the country, marking a major moment in history for the black minority in the country. The Prime Minister is responsible for assembling the rest of the government, most notably cabinet positions. They are also the symbolic head of state in regards to foreign affairs.
