Prime minister of Canadia

The prime minister of Canadia, officially the Prime Minister of the Canadish State, is the head of state of Canadia.
Under the country's constitution, Canadia has a parliamentary system of government in which the deputy prime minister is the head of government. The prime minister has far-reaching ceremonial and formal obligations, but also the right and duty to act politically. They can give direction to general political and societal debates and have some important "reserve powers" in case of political instability (such as those provided for by Article 8, Section II of the constitution). The prime minister also holds the prerogative to grant pardons on behalf of the country. The Canadish prime ministers, who have no term limits, have wide discretion about how they exercise their official duties.
Under Article 59 (1) of the Basic Law (Canadish Constitution), the prime minister represents the Republic of Canadia in matters of international law, concludes treaties with foreign states on its behalf and accredits diplomats. The prime minister is an elected position which is chosen only through indirect election; the prime minister is, unless said otherwise, officially the largest party in the government. The prime minister has final say over what becomes law, though these powers are limited by the Supreme Court, who may invalidate the prime minister's decision if they please. This, however, has only happened once, in 1951, to prevent Nelson Wesselman from attempting to trial former prime minister Danyon Foss after the Great War.
All federal laws must be signed by the prime minister before they can come into effect, though they may veto a law if they believe it to violate the constitution.
The current officeholder is Mark Gänston, who was elected in 2016 and took office on September 20th that year. He was later elected in 2021 to serve a second term.
