President of Beiteynu

The President of Beiteynu (Yeudish: נשיא ביתנו, Nasi Beiteinu) is the head of state of Beiteynu. The presidency is largely a ceremonial office, with executive power effectively being exercised by the prime minister. The President acts as a representative of Beiteynu and guardian of the constitution. The current president is Machum Shimoni,who was elected on.

Election
The president is elected by a 2/3 majority by the electorate. If no candidate has received a 2/3 majority of votes by the first round of voting, a second round, in which only the two most-voted candidates in the first round may participate, is held. The president is elected to a term of 4 years, and can be re-elected. In accordance with the constitution, any Beiteynuese citizen residing in the nation for more than six months, is eligible to run for President. The office falls vacant upon completion of a term, resignation, or the decision of three-quarters of the Assefa to remove the president on grounds of misconduct or incapacity. When the office falls vacant the speaker of the assefa becomes acting president and an election is to be called in the next three months.

Discretionary Powers
The Constitution of Beiteynu provides for a parliamentary system of government, under which the role of the head of state is largely ceremonial. Executive power is vested onto the President, however similar to many parliamentary systems of government, said executive power is exercised by the government. Most of the functions of the President may be carried out only in accordance with the strict instructions of the Constitution, or the binding 'advice' of the Government.

 * Appoints the government
