 The **President of the Republic of Melonia** (more commonly known as simply the "President") is the head of state, the chief legislator, and the commander in chief of the [[civics:melonia|Republic of Melonia]]. The President appoints the [[civics:melonia:pm|Prime Minister]] (confirmed by [[civics:melonia:parliament|Parliament]]), and must agree on all of the Prime Minister's Cabinet appointments. The President also has the authority to write emergency orders, and allocate emergency resources. The **President of the Republic of Melonia** (more commonly known as simply the "President") is the head of state, the chief legislator, and the commander in chief of the [[civics:melonia|Republic of Melonia]].

-When the new Republic of Melonia government was being drafted, the writers of the new Constitution decided to change Melonia into a semi-presidential constitutional republic rather than a city-state. This meant that the powers of the [[civics:melonia:executive|Executive Branch]] became split between the President and the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister now has the power to appoint Cabinet members and generally executes the day-to-day functions of the government.
