The President of the Miersan Republic (Miersan: Prezydent Republika Mierska), commonly known as the President of West Miersa (Prezydent Mierski Zachodniej) is the head of state of the Miersan Republic. Created in 1936 with the establishment of West Miersa, it was constitutionally defined as being the head of state, but over the decades has also become the de-facto head of government.

The president is elected every five years alongside the Sejm via first-past-the-post. Over the decades the position has been commonly considered to be that of an autocrat, being a military dictator from the 1940s to the 1980s to a civilian dictator since. The current president Jakub Lewkowicz has served in the role since 2008 being re-elected thrice.

History

Role

Under the West Miersan constitution, the President functions as the head of state of the Miersan Republic, with the power to sign legislation into law, to appoint and dismiss the Premier of the Miersan Republic from among the Sejm, and to appoint legislators to represent what the West Miersan government considers to be "voivodeships under Valduvian occupation."

In addition, the President of the Miersan Republic has an obligation to represent all Miersans, both within the Miersan Republic, but also on the international stage.
