Powers and duties
As the head of state, the President is politically responsible for the overall governance of the country jointly with the Prime Minister, and participates in the making of laws under the Constitution, promulgates them and has them published.
He attends the opening sessions of the National Assembly each year, and delivers a speech on the State of the Nation and recommends to them for their consideration such legislative measures as he deems necessary and expedient. He also attends the ordinary sessions of the National Assembly and convenes extraordinary sessions when necessary.
The President appoints the Supreme Court judges, together with a two-thirds majority of the Senate, along with the other judges of the lower federal courts, on the basis of a compulsory list of three nominees put forward by the Judicial Council, and the Senate deliberates on the eligibility of the nominees in a public meeting.
Following a report from the court, he may grant pardons or commutations for offences under federal jurisdiction, except in cases of impeachment by the House of Representatives.
In matters of foreign affairs, he appoints and dismisses ambassadors, ministers plenipotentiary, the head of the cabinet and other ministers with the approval of the National Assembly, as well as all other government staff whose appointment is not otherwise provided for in the Constitution. In addition, he oversees the performance of the duties of the Prime Minister and his cabinet, and serves as the commander-in-chief of the Guadajaran Defence Forces.
Compensation and privileges of office
The President receives an annual salary of 181,480 Guadajaran escuderos, paid by the Federal Treasury and subject to change only by decision of the National Assembly. During their tenure, the President may not hold any other office nor receive any undue benefits from the nation or any province.
The Magallanez Palace is the official workplace and residence of the President, and Granja de Tasajera their country workplace. The President has access to the staff and facilities of the residences, and his security is ensured by the Presidential Guard, which is also responsible for the security of the President's and Vice President's families.
