History

First republic

When Sequoyan republican forces overthrew Sequoyan emperor Utliyuli II in 1876, Brigadier General Ahuli Kanuna proclaimed himself as the dictator of Sequoyah to lead the country while the provisional republican government drafted a constitution. The government held presidential and legislative elections. Kanuna ran for the government's executive office unopposed, and on 20 April 1876, he was inaugurated as the first president of Sequoyah.

Removal

The constitution of Sequoyah permits for the legislative and judicial branches to remove a president from office. First, the People's Assembly must vote with a three-fifths majority to impeach the president and present charges to the Senate for the review. The Senate would then review the charges and evidence presented against the president by the People's Assembly and vote with a two-thirds majority to suspend the president's powers and duties; in this case, the next individual in the line of succession would become acting president. After the Senate suspends the president's powers and duties, the Supreme Court would review all People's Assembly and Senate proceedings against the president and vote with a simple majority whether to affirm the president's removal from office or to reject the charges and restore the president's powers and duties.

Residence

The Presidential Palace serves as the official residence of the president of Sequoyah while in office.
