Imperator

The Imperator of the United Empire of Earth is the head of state and head of government of the UEE, as well as the commander-in-chief of the nation's entire military.

Before the Revolution of 2792, the Imperator was unchallenged by any other governmental subordinates. Currently, however, he may be impeached if he is opposed by the entire government. He is bound to a single ten-year term.

Election Process
Only Citizens can apply for the office. In a process called 'Imperator primaries', an applicant needs 50,000 Citizen signatures to qualify as a 'candidate'. They are then now able to add a presentation Vid over the empire-wide receiveable Spectrum broadcasting service. Only 10 of them are nominated (by popular vote) for the actual election.
