Stadtholder of Clinkham Wood

The President of Clinkham Wood is the head of government of Clinkham Wood and is the highest political office in Clinkham Wood by influence and recognition. The President is at the head of the Executive branch of the Federal government of Clinkham Wood, whose role is to enforce national law as given in the Constitution of Clinkham Wood and written by the Parliment of Clinkham Wood. Article II establishes the President as commander-in-chief of the Military of Clinkham Wood and enumerates powers specifically granted to the President, including the power to sign into law or veto bills passed by both houses of Parliment. The President also has the power to create a Clinkham Wood cabinet of advisers and to grant pardons or reprieves. Finally, with the "advice and consent" of the House of Commons, the President is empowered to make treaties and appoint federal officers, ambassadors, and federal judges, including Justices of the Supreme Court of Clinkham Wood. As with officials in the other branches of Clinkham Wood government, the Constitution restrains the President with a set of checks and balances designed to prevent any individual or group from taking absolute power.

The President is elected indirectly through the Clinkham Wood Electoral College to a four year term, with a unlimited amount of terms. Under this system, each state is allocated a number of electoral votes, equal to the size of the state's delegation in both houses of Parliment combined. The District of St Helens is also granted electoral votes. Voters in nearly all states choose a presidential candidate through the plurality voting system, who then receives all of that state's electoral votes. A simple majority of electoral votes is needed to become President; if no candidate receives that many votes, the election is thrown to the House of Lords, which votes by state delegation.

The Port of Liverpool Building in Liverpool serves as the official place of residence for the President; he is entitled to use its staff and facilities, including medical care, recreation, housekeeping, and security services. One of two Boeing VC-25 aircraft, which are extensively modified versions of Boeing 747-200B airliners, serve as long distance travel for the President, and are referred to as Air Force One while the president is on board. A salary of £400,000, along with other benefits, is paid to the President annually.
