The '''President of [[Vegno]]''', officially denoted as '''President of the Republic of Vegno''', is the head of the state of Vegno. In that role, the president represents national unity, and guarantees that Vegno politics comply with the [[Constitution of Vegno]]. The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces and chairs the high council of Judiciary.

The officeholder resides in [[Cossa]] at the [[Dilemma Palace]]. 

A president's term of office lasts for five years. The incumbent president is [[Orazio Torlo-Marani]], who was elected in [[1731 Vegno Elections|1731 general elections]].

==Election and mandate==
The officeholder is directly elected by universal suffrage: every Vegnese citizen over the age of twenty-two can vote for a single candidate for the Presidency.

The President of the Republic of Vegno assumes office after taking an oath and delivering a presidential address.

The term of the President of the Vegnese Republic lasts five years in the actual legislations, after the consitutional reform of [[Mancuso I Cabinet]]. 

==Powers==
Although the prime minister of Vegno, through their Government as well as Parliament, oversee much of the nation's actual day-to-day domestic affairs, the Vegnese president wields significant influence and authority, especially in the fields of national security and foreign policy. The president's greatest power is the ability to choose the prime minister. However, since it is the [[Assemblea Nazionale]] that has the sole power to dismiss the prime minister's government, the president is forced to name a prime minister who can command the support of a majority in the assembly. The legislative elections are held the same days of the presidential.
