The President is elected for one term, lasting four years, and can serve a maximum of two terms. Representatives can serve unlimited terms of two years each, Senators unlimited terms of six years each. West Texas has a plural executive branch system limiting the power of the President. Except for the Secretary of State, voters elect executive officers independently making candidates directly answerable to the public, not the President. Executive branch positions consist of * President * Vice President * Secretary of State * Secretary of Defense * Secretary of Commerce * Secretary of Energy * Secretary of Labor * Secretary of Public Accounts * Secretary of the Interior * Secretary of Agriculture * Secretary of Transportation * Secretary of Education * Attorney General The President and his family live in the President's Mansion, located near the Texas Capitol Building; the Vice-President and his family live in the Texas House, also located a short distance from the Texas Capitol Building. The bicameral Texas Legislature consists of the House of Representatives, with 100 members (with districts set up throughout the nation according to population), and a Senate, with 50 members (one for each administrative district). The Speaker of the House leads the House, and the Vice President, the Senate. The Legislature meets in regular session anually, but the President can call for special sessions as often as desired. The House and Senate meet in the Texas Capitol Building located in downtown Midland. The building was built as closely as possible to the specifications of the Texas State Capitol building in the nuked state capital of Austin. It would host the House and Senate of the unified Republic of Texas upon that nation's formal establishment. West Texas has two courts of last resort: the Supreme Court, for civil cases, and the Court of Criminal Appeals. Except for some municipal benches, partisan elections select judges at all levels of the judiciary; the President fills vacancies by appointment. The death penalty was not included in the constitution, as it was thought that there had been enough death in the aftermath of Doomsday. The West Texas Supreme Court, like its Texas state predecessor, meets in a specially built building located behind the Texas Capitol Building in Midland.
