President of Augustina

The President of Augustina, officially the President of the Augustine Republic, is the head of state, head of government, and the commander-in-chief of Augustina. Through the Augustine military dictatorship, the office of the Head of State has undergone many changes, both in its title as in its features and powers. The incumbent president Jean-Claude Bannister was sworn into office on 10 January 2019, succeeding Juliette Blanchett after being elected in the 2018 Augustine election.

The president is elected to direct the general policy of the government, work with the National Assembly and the Council of Ministers to enact reform, and be an administrator of the state, enforcing the Constitution of 1992 which establishes the presidential requirements, rights, and obligations.

Constitutional limits
Ordinarily, the president is elected to a four-year term, with a possibility of a second successive term. The change of government takes place on 10 January, which is the date of independence from the United Kingdom and thus a national holiday.

The National Assembly has the power to end a president's term prematurely through impeachment. Under Article 113 of the Constitution of 1992, the president can be removed due to death, "permanent moral or physical disability" determined by the Assembly, resignation, fleeing national territory without permission from the Assembly, or dismissal for committing infractions outlined in Article 117 of the Constitution. So far, no president have attempted to resign.
