The President of the Volkian Federative Republic (Volkian: Президент Волжской Федеративной Республики) is the head of state and head of government of Volkia. The president leads the executive branch of the Volkian federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the Volkian Defense Forces.
The Volkian constitution vests the executive power of Volkia in the president and charges them with the execution of federal law, alongside the responsibility of appointing federal executive, diplomatic, and regulatory officers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers, with the advice and consent of the Federal Council. The president is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves, and to convene and adjourn either or both houses of the Federation Assembly under extraordinary circumstances. Despite possessing no formal legislative powers beyond signing or vetoing legislatively passed bills, the president is largely responsible for dictating the legislative agenda of his party and the foreign and domestic policy of Volkia.
