The Leader of the Commonwealth is the elected Head of State of Trigunia. The position was created on 12 May 3347.
Powers of Leader of the Commonwealth[]
The leader's greatest power is their ability to choose the Chairman of the Supreme People's Assembly. However, since only the Assembly has the power to dismiss the Chairman and his/her government, the leader is forced to accept the Chairman who can command the support of a majority in the Assembly. When the majority of the Assembly has opposite political views to that of the leader, this leads to political cohabitation. In that case, the leader's power is diminished, since much of the de facto power relies on a supportive Chairman and Assembly, and is not directly attributed to the post of president.
When the majority of the Assembly sides with him/her, the Leader can take a more active role and may, in effect, direct government policy. The Chairman is then the personal choice of the President, and can be easily replaced if the administration becomes unpopular. Among the powers of the government:
- The leader names the Chairman of the Supreme People's Assembly but cannot dismiss him/her as well as can name most officials within the Cabinet, with permission from the Chairman.
- The leader may dissolve the Supreme People's Assembly with the consent of the majority of the Assembly
- All decisions of the leader must be countersigned by the Chairman, except dissolving the Assembly and holding a snap election, such an action must be agreed upon by the majority in the Assembly as stated above & actions of the military
- The leader may refer treaties or certain types of laws to the Assembly with the agreement of the Chairman
- The leader is the Commander-in-Chief (CINC) of the armed forces and may order the use of nuclear weapons in times of war
- The leader receive foreign ambassadors & appoint national ambassadors
- The leader may grant a pardon (but not an amnesty) to convicted criminals; the president can also lessen or suppress criminal sentences
