President of the High Council of Imperium

The president of the High Council of Imperium (Hegemonian: Princeps Concilii) is the presiding officer of the High Council of Imperium. The president presides over the High Council's debates, determining which members may speak and introducing Senate's bills for consideration, under the advice and consent of the Committee on Rules and Administration. The president is responsible for mantaining order during debate, and may punish members who break the rules of High Council. The presidents remain strictly non-partisan and renounce all affiliation with their political parties while in office, and may rejoin the party after leaving office. Although a member of the High Council by appointment of a first-level government, the president must remain independent from their first-level entity and represent Hegemonian interests. It does not regularly participate in legislation.

The current president of the High Council is Iulius Carbo, a member of Concilium Principum from Pompartium, having assumed office on 28 March 2020.
