List of General Magistrates of the UKA (Dynasty of Eagles)

The General Magistrate is the head of government of the United Kingdom of America, and acts as the de facto head of state for the country. The GM is elected by the members of both houses of Congress for a five-year term, with no limits on how many terms they may serve. The dominant party or coalition has the greatest influence on forming a government from the members of Congress. The GM assembles a cabinet from from among the members of Congress, who require approval by Senate committees. The GM is also tasked with filling vacancies in the Supreme Court, whose nominee must also be approved by both houses in Congress, and whose members are reviewed every nine years and may be removed from office in a Vote of No Confidence. The day of inauguration for the GM, March 25, is a national holiday.

Should the GM die in office, the Rules of Succession state that the Deputy General Magistrate will be the first to succeed the GM, then the Speaker of the House of Delegates, then Speaker of the Senate, and then onto cabinet members based on importance (Foreign Secretary, State Secretary, etc). There was originally the post of Viceroy, a post for the person who would succeed the GM. The office was abolished, however, after a series of weak Viceroys succeed their GMs.

The official residency of the GM is the White House in Philadelphia, the national capital. Tradition mandates that GMs take the oath of office on the steps of the Nicola Monument. The official march of the GM is The Old Banner Flies!, and is played at the GMs inauguration, and various state function as they enter the room or before they give a speech.
