Message	I'm actually quite happy about the President. Presiding Officer is not that tempting, but perhaps it is time for a change?

Message	I like the current one, and agree with FED that Supreme Officer sounds a tad silly. Grand Voice of the People! Perhaps Something Overseer?

Message	Historically it's been President, Presiding Officer, or Captain Cobura, as far as I know. Captain Cobura is also a load of w*nk, so I'd say go with PO or President.

Message	In fact, I'll be voting against any change on the grounds that our Presidents have defined us in the post single-party age. The Presideny is weak bu I dob't think it should be demoted to an officership of the Assembly or the Executive.

Random fact: There are two countries based on Egypt in the game. Cobura is based on modern Egypt with a retro twist, while Hawu Mumenhes is based on Ancient Egypt with a modernist twist.

Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr.
