The President of Insui is often listed among the world's most powerful people. He or she is the Commander-in-chief of one of the world's most expensive militaries, and commands one of the largest nuclear arsenals. The office of the president holds significant hard and soft power both in Insui and abroad.
/insert_section/ of the Constitution vests the executive power of Insui in the president and charges him/her with the execution of federal law, alongside the responsibility of appointing federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory and judicial officers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers with the advice and consent of the Senate. The president is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves, and to convene and adjourn either or both houses of Congress under extraordinary circumstances. The President is largely responsible for dictating the legislative agenda of his or her party and the foreign and domestic policy of Insui. Since the founding of Insui, the power of the president and the federal government has grown substantially.
The president is indirectly elected by the people through the Electorate to a four-year term, and is one of only two nationally elected federal officers, the other being the Vice President. The Alteração de termos, adopted with the current constitution, prohibits anyone from ever being elected to the presidency for a third full term. It also prohibits a person from being elected to the presidency more than once if that person previously had served as president, or acting president, for more than two years of another person's term as president. In all, 54 individuals have served 54 presidencies spanning 80 full four-year terms. On January 9, 2029, Laura Cardoso became the 54th and current president.
