Inner Systems Senators

President

Serves a five-year term, and no individual may serve more than three terms. Current President Potato is only at the end of his first term.. The voting process is Quadrants first, then Inner Systems, over nearly a year, to allow Major Parties and candidates to campaign widely; but makes it difficult [impossible in practical terms] for a candidate to succeed without a big power base in the Inner Systems. The next Election is as timetabled as follows:
