The President of the State Council of Alaska (Russian: Президент Государственного Совета Аляски, tr. Prezident Gosudarstvennogo Soveta Alyaski), commonly referred to in Russian as the President (Президент), and in English as the Prime Minister, is the head of government of the Tsardom of Alaska. The Prime Minister is the most powerful elected official in the Government of Alaska, and the presidency's powers are established in Article 24 of the Alaskan Constitution.
The Prime Minister is by law appointed by the Tsar on the nomination of the State Duma to serve at His Majesty's pleasure. Thus, the Prime Minister is almost always the leader of the largest party in the Duma, though a sufficiently large coalition would be able to have their own candidate elected. Because the Prime Minister generally serves as long as they command the confidence of Parliament, their term de facto lasts for up to three years, after which the Prime Minister may be recommissioned should the new Duma re-nominate them.
The Prime Minister also heads the State Council, hence his formal title. All other Ministers are appointed by the Tsar on the advice of the Prime Minister.
Since the formation of the office of Prime Minister in 1918, there have been 12 Prime Ministers, several of whom served non-consecutive terms. The current Prime Minister, Ivan Horgan of the Yel' Party, was appointed on 18 July 2017.
