Cartadania is a federal presidential constitutional republic with executive power exercised by the executive, headed by the President, advised by a Cabinet of Secretaries who head each of the federal executive departments. The executive branch is established in the Cartadanian Constitution, which vests executive power in a president of Cartadania. The president serves as both {{wp|Head of state}} and {{wp|Head of government}} of the republic as well as the commander-in-chief of the [[Cartadanian Armed Forces]]. The nation is based primarily on a representative democracy model (although is a mixed democracy in practice), but the presidency and vice-presidency are subject to a {{wp|Two-round system|two-round}} {{wp|direct election}}. The president and vice-president typically are listed on a ballot together from the same party, however, with coalitions placing their most eligible candidate forward during elections, there have been instances of candidates within two different parties serving together via their coalitional elections (a phenomenon known as "decoupling" or "découplage" in Cartadania). The president of Cartadania serves for a term of four years and may be re-elected for a single consecutive term. This two-term limit, established after the [[Ano Roxo]] forced constitutional amendments, however, is not for life—a former president who has served for two consecutive terms may run for the presidency again after at least one term has elapsed.

The President appoints the Secretaries of each federal department (except Veteran Affairs, who is actually appointed by the Secretary of Defense), who assist in government. Since 1757, the party system has been dominated by the [[Social Democracy Party (Cartadania)|Social Democracy Party]] and the United Conservative Party, with occasional one-offs from the Progressistas Party or their respective coalition partners. So far every president since 1759 has been a member of one of these parties (the Partido Conservador was the predecessor to the UCP), though there are fourteen legally present in Cartadania.
