List of Presidents of the Second Hasbin Republic

After the Coup of the People in 1971-73, Hasbana returned to a democratic government, with executive power being headed by an elected president.

Presidents of Hasbana are allowed by the Constitution to serve one six-year term. As of August 2024, eight elections have been held, and nine individuals have served in the office of president; eight men, and one woman.

Instead of individuals deciding a political party to run with (as in the United States or France), in Hasbana political factions decide which candidate to back during campaigning.

If a president dies, resigns, or is unable to fulfill the duties of the office, the runner up in the last election becomes president. This is not by law considered a full term, and thus, a president appointed to the position by circumstance can run for re-election.

Every two years during a president's term (except for election years) a referendum is held by the Grand Judges of the Altakonsil branch of government. The judges are to assess the president's performance and decide whether to keep the president in office (for either another two years or until the end of the individuals' term) or to impeach the president (in which case the individual is given one month before their term ends and the term of the runner-up in the last election begins). Only once in Hasbana's history has a President ever been impeached.

Presidential elections are held on the first Monday in December, presidential referendums are held on January 1st, and presidential inaugurations are held on February 1st.
