Instead Jean Cazalet, a political powerhouse among the republicans greatly popular in Auvernia manages to pull together a minority government that despite being radical in its orientation is willing to work with Pierre III. When Pierre IV demands an oath of loyalty in 1846, Cazalet refuses and opts not to run for another term.

Initially boasting strong relations with Pierre IV and wishing to bolster the power of the Chamber of Deputies, disputes over war strategy in the ongoing West Nymerian Crisis of 1850.

Snap elections were held in August after the minority government failed to agree on a new President within the twenty one day window.

After a week of deliberation they settled on Alan Pierre Laurent, son of the Clementinist Wars marshal Alan Laurent and a personal friend of Pierre IV. President Laurent was highly supportive of the Imperial agenda but opted against running for re-election instead intent on serving as president of the Imperial Academy starting in 1857.
4	Didier H. Ballard (1810-1865)	Single term	22nd of August, 1857	8th of April, 1860	Republican majority government	Moderate Republican	A retired brigadier general and deputy for Sancy, President Ballard was elected in the strongest showing by republicans only straying four seats from forming a majority government. Nonetheless enough crossbencher non-inscrits voted along with his government that his government functioned as a majority government would. His policies included increasing colonial investments, public schooling and rural infrastructure. A major believer in internal improvements, Ballard's administration also invested in experimental technologies such as the railroad and telegraph. Ultimately, a scandal in which Ballard was found to be attending meetings with exiled radical republicans caused monarchists within his faction to demand that he step down and ultimately to the Emperor dismissing the government and calling an election.
5	Emmanuel Montauban (1814-1884)	Single term	20nd of April, 1860	1st of May, 1865	Clementinist minority government	Clementinist	A staunch Clementinist, President Montauban strengthened sedition laws in retaliation for the Ballard scandal leading to Ballard's exile from Auvernia. Despite this he continued most of Ballard's domestic priorities and built on them by supporting the establishment of a national railway network to connect all rail lines in Auvernia. He declined to run for an additional term when the election of 1865 loomed near.

The result was a popular presidency in which Promeneur would debate the opposition at length in parliament and rallied support for investment in the fine arts, imperial expeditions in Nymera and Tellures leading to colonial exhibitions in Nanterre in 1867 and 1868. Aside from this major naval investments were made and the economy fared well seeing stable growth under a policy of public investiture and limited mercantilism. However, in November of 1868 President Promeneur contracted tuberculosis leading to his health failing to the point of infirmity and his death on December 17th, 1868.
