The President of the Greater Russian Union is the Russian Head of State and Head of Government. The President's powers are extensive but clearly defined. The powers of the President include the naming of Cabinet officials and judges, though those decisions must be ratified by the Duma (Parliament). The President also has veto power over legislation, which is used semi-regularly, usually when the President's party does not control the Duma. The President is elected by universal adult suffrage to a four-year term. A President may be re-elected once only.
