Anastasia Clarke | 6/11/20 - 26/01/21 | IS#18 | Former member of the RAP, left following Hazelwood's impeachment to successfully form government as the IPP. Promoted to Lady Overseer. | |
Viktor McRain | 16/02/21 - 6/03/21 | IS#25 | Rose to lead IPP after promotion of Clarke. Came second in initial election but won in run-off. Assassinated at outbreak of Third Jocospite Civil War, albeit later inexplicably returned to life and rejoined the Senate. | |
Richard Desmond | 27/05/21 - 3/07/21 | IS#29 | Elected by comfortable majority with the IPP, but soon threatened with internal party coup. Resigned. | |
Andrew II Hazelwood | 20/08/21 - 27/08/21 | IS#32 | Elected in runoff by narrow margin, becoming first President to be in office for non-consecutive terms. Ran as placeholder for ISV. Resigned. | |
Andreas Bombardone | 27/08/21 - 24/10/21 | N/A | Replaced Hazelwood as President upon resumption of ISV leadership. First President to organise regular Senate meetings, known as "Hierarch's Hour". Dismissed by Lady Chancellor in Cabinet dissolution. | |
Tailspin von Javehin | 5/11/21 - 6/02/22 | IS#39 | Elected as part of HORSE-PP-UP-Independent Coalition, forming first coalition government. Administration oversaw notable expansion of "lower tier" government bureaucracy. Did not seek re-election, but faced subsequent allegations of ISV collusion. | |
Andreas Bombardone | 12/02/22 - 07/05/22 | IS#51 | Won by a single vote absolute majority in first round, returning ISV to government after weathering enormous scandal. Saw most significant and controversial post-election Cabinet reshuffle in history, with appointments of members of the opposing campaigns. Did not seek re-election, and was promoted to Lord Chancellor. | |
Darcy J. Hill | 16/05/22 - 03/06/22 | IS#60 | Won with an absolute majority in first round with support by IUC (UP-VIP Coalition). A discrepancy in Hill's budget motion led to a ruling by the Confederation Tribunal that nullified the Taxation and Appropriations Act 2021, leading to a crisis in the government that the Opposition cast Hill as to blame for. An impeachment petition against Hill gained traction, but Hill resigned from the presidency before the petition could reach the necessary signatures to initiate an impeachment motion. | |
Andrew III Hazelwood | 26/06/22 - 01/09/2022 | IS#64 | The son of the late former President Andrew II Hazelwood. Won by a single vote absolute majority in first round on the ticket of the Senate Vanguard (ISV-VIP Coalition). Surprisingly, Hazelwood gained the endorsement of his predecessor Darcy Hill, when Hazelwood was previously at the forefront of the movement to impeach Hill. Administration ended due to lethargy and caused a fall in trust within the Imperial Senate. | |
Balthazar Sturm | 01/09/2022 - present | IS#69 | A defector from decadence from the ISV and founder of the VIP. Won in a runoff against LABOUR and fading ISV. Elected on promises and actual government activity. |
