Election and Term in Office
The President ascends to the position through a popular election and serve an unlimited number of five-year terms. Presidential candidates are declared by the Earth Senate, which reviews anonymously-submitted petitions for candidacy before declaring that a given individual qualifies for the office. When a president unexpectedly resigns, dies, or is otherwise unable to discharge the powers of the office, the Earth Senate grants the vice-president temporary power, while a special vote is cast.
