Supreme Consul (DoM)

The Supreme Consul is the head of state and head of government of the Terran Dominion, and the representative of the human race. The Supreme Consul is an elected position in which the previous Supreme Consul chooses a successor who must receive a supermajority vote of confidence from the Dominion High Council and the blessing of the judiciary, where he or she swears an oath to uphold the nation's constitution and faithfully serve humanity. As the head of the galactic government of humanity, the Supreme Consul's residence is located in the Galactic Assembly Building on the race's capital of Gaia on their homeworld of Terra. There are no term limits on the office, but several checks and balances on the Consul's power prevents the office from becoming a way to establish a dictatorship and several Consuls have resigned from the post due to either public pressure from unpopularity or violating the constitution and being dismissed by the judiciary.
