President of the Confederate States (Look Away)

The President of the Confederate States is the head of state and head of government of the Confederate States of America. The president directs the executive branch of the confederate government and is the commander-in-chief of the Confederate States Armed Forces.

Article II of the Confederate States Constitution vests the executive power of the Confederacy in the president. The power includes the execution of law, alongside the responsibility of appointing executive, diplomatic, regulatory and judicial officers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers with the advice and consent of the senate. He is further empowered to grant reprieves and pardons, and convene and adjourn either or both houses of Congress under extraordinary circumstances.
