Flag of the Republic of Tenasee, adopted 1793
The President of the Republic of Tenasee was the head of government and chief executive of the Republic of Tenasee.
The Republic of Tenasee was formed in 1793, when it was carved out of the Duchy of Watagua under the watch of General Andrew Jackson. A constitutional republic was formed under its first President, John Sevier. The President of Tenasee was elected by popular vote to a single fourteen year term. They shared powers jointly with the duly elected Congress of Tenasee, although they were given strong executive powers. Tenasee quickly became known as a financial haven with strong banking ties. A normally neutral state, Tenasee became rich off of trade and commerce in the usually chaotic continent of North America. A small country, Tenasee never developed functioning political parties, making all politicians "Independents."
