The President and Vice-President
The President oversees all bills passed by Congress (including veto powers). For the purpose of roleplaying, they will be able to appoint their own cabinet who run player government departments as well as judges, at the discretion of congress. They will be styled as President or Player President.
Whoever becomes Vice President also acts as President of the Senate and can cast deciding votes.
The House is open for any player to run for a seat! Any city or group of cities equivalent to a tier 6 nation in size, can appoint a representatives to the Senate. Some cities may choose to run elections and some dictatorships/kingdoms may appoint directly.
