List of Presidents of Kania

According to the Constitution of Kania, the President of Kania is the head of state and head of government of the Republic of Kania. The president is the command-in-chief of the Kanian Defense Forces, and ultimate head of the executive and legislative branches of the government. The president is directly-elected by the people of Kania to a six-year term which is renewable for as long as the candidate is able to run for office. This was affirmed by the constitution which prevents terms limits from being imposed upon the presidency. Upon the president's death, resignation, inability to continue running the office, or impeachment, the Vice President of Kania takes over. The President must by thirty years of age to run, and a "natural-born" citizen of Kania, or from another nation but of proven African heritage to run for office.

This list includes all individuals sworn into the presidency following Kania's independence in 16 December 1756. The first president of Kania was Roger Kane, and the current president is Alexander Kane, a direct descendant of the nation's first president. Since 1756, 27 people have been sworn in as the President of Kania. Of these 28 presidencies (counting Andrew Reece's two non-consecutive terms), two have died in office (Gregory Fawkes and Horatio Ives), two resigned (Theodore Copperfield and Samuel Nelson), and one impeached (Martin Clement). There have been very few landmark elections; Martin Clement was the first biracial president of Kania, and he was also the first and only president of Kania to be impeached.
