President of Batavia

The President of Batavia, officially the President of the United Provinces of Batavia  (: President van de Verenigde Provincies van Batavië) is the head of state of Batavia.
Batavia has a parliamentary system of government in which the Prime Minister is the nation's leading political figure and de facto chief executive. However, the President, while not the chief executive post, has a more than merely ceremonial role. Presidents have wide discretion about how they exercise their official duties.The President gives direction to general political and societal debates and has some important "reserve powers" in case of political instability (such as those provided for by Article 19 of the Constitution).
Under Article 18 (2) of the Batavian Constitution, the President represents the United Provinces of Batavia in matters of international law, concludes treaties with foreign states on its behalf and accredits diplomats.Furthermore, all federal laws must be signed by the President before they can come into effect, but usually they only veto a law if they believe it to violate the constitution.
