By the way, this doesn't count towards actual OT government positions, only the council of OT.
You are new, so I'll explain how things work around here. The OTC (OT Council) runs the sub in the absence of a President and his cabinet. They are like the Unites States Congress or British Parliament. Once there is a president and a presidential cabinet, there is a complex system of checks and balances (that would take WAY too much time to explain here) that keep both powers in check.
Elections for OT President run from 1 December to 1 January at the end of the year, and the president-elect is inaugurated the first Saturday or Sunday of the new year. The term runs for the whole year and the president can rerun for three terms total. The OT Council is replaced every year, but old members can still serve more than once (just not consecutively), with a maximum of five total terms.
So those are the basics of OT politics. I have studied law and politics, feel free to ask me any questions regarding the topic.
