President of Sheaman

Presidential Selection
In Sheaman, Presidents are not chosen by anyone but are instead chosen through elections and there are not many conditions for a presidential candidate here are some of the few requirements;

Must be 18 years old

Must be a citizen of Sheaman

Has not committed any serious past crimes, e.g murder, rape, drugs

Elections
Elections were amended in 2020 to have a Presidential Election every three years so that too much money is not spent on new elections due to resignations etc. It also makes the rules of resigning as President much harder as the President is elected democratically by the people and its very hard to organise elections and maintain a balanced budget.

The latest election happened in March 2021 and the next one is due by March 2024 which will decided the fate of the President.

Currently the incumbent President is Erik Raud who was been President since the 19th of March 2021 and he is part of the C&U party.

Presidential Absence
Presidential removal includes resignation, death, mental illness, is convicted of a serious crime and Bankruptcy. If Presidential Absence occurs then the Vice President will be appointed President and the current President will appoint a new Vice President but an Election deadline will be set for 3 months at maximum and by then an Election will be called to elect a new President.

Dismissal Powers
The President can demand the dismissal of the Chancellor with a valid reason and parliament will vote on the decision until it is settled. If the parliament agrees on removing the Chancellor the President doesn't have any say on appointing a new Chancellor. This was changed in the Constitution of Sheaman 2020 that massively limited the powers of the president due to party division in the SGLR party and a united C&U support for the limitation of the President's power.

The President also has the power to dismiss the members of the National Court & Judiciary and the Chancellor's cabinet with the same principles of the dismissal of the Chancellor.
