Presidentiksi

Presidentiksi is a Finnish word that translates to "president" in English. The term is used to refer to the head of state in Finland, who is elected by the people for a six-year term. The president's role is largely ceremonial, with the prime minister holding executive power. The president's duties include representing Finland internationally, signing laws into effect, and acting as the commander-in-chief of the Finnish Defence Forces. The office of the president is established by the Finnish Constitution, which was adopted in 1919. The current president of Finland is Sauli Niinistö, who took office in 2012. The presidential election is held every six years, with the most recent election taking place in 2018. The president is elected by an absolute majority of votes cast, and if no candidate receives such a majority, a second round of voting is held between the two candidates with the most votes. The president is not eligible to run for re-election. The office of the president is independent of political parties, and the president is not a member of any political party. The president's salary is set by the Finnish Parliament, and as of 2021, it is approximately 15,000 euros per month. The president's official residence is the Presidential Palace in Helsinki.
