Ever since the creation of [[President of the High Council|the Presidency rank]] on [[the Homeworld]], the individual chosen as its Head had acted as more of a vessel and avatar for the [[power]] of the Homeworld than a [[Politics|political]] [[leader]] (see also SPEAKER OF RE). When the necessities of War led to the Presidency taking on a more active role as the strategic leader of the Homeworld’s [[military]] campaigns, the full extent of the powers vested in a President began to be better understood by the wider Universe. The adoption of Monarchial titles such as '[[King]]' and '[[Queen]]' harkened back to [[lesser species]]' notions of rulers by divine right, firmly cementing the President-King of the Sun Builders as not just a [[Democracy|democratic]] leader of their people, but as a King among Lords, a power unto themself. | Ever since the creation of [[President of the High Council|the Presidency rank]] on [[the Homeworld]], the individual chosen as its Head had acted as more of a vessel and avatar for the [[power]] of the Homeworld than a [[Politics|political]] [[leader]] (see also SPEAKER OF RE).

However, an unwitting consequence of the growing infamy of the Wartime Presidency was the realisation, both by the Homeworld and its enemies, that [[Former Lord President|former Presidents]], who retained certain metaphysical ties to the Protocols however brief their time in office, had become great liabilities. Some Presidents Emeritus, realising the precariousness of their position, resorted to faking their deaths; several others had no need to resort to deception in this matter. One of the Homeworld's most infamous Wartime Presidents, however, disappeared from office at the onset of the Lucia Presidency (see [[Lolita|LOLITA]]), without a formal resignation or hard evidence of his demise. His whereabouts remain a matter of great speculation; although many claim to have encountered [[Man with the Rosette|a Rosette-wearing man]], whom some identify as [[The War King|the surviving War King]], most scholars agree that the "[[Whig]]" era of the one-time President’s [[life]] actually occurred at an earlier point in (…) | However, an unwitting consequence of the growing infamy of the Wartime Presidency was the realisation, both by the Homeworld and its enemies, that [[Former Lord President|former Presidents]], who retained certain metaphysical ties to the Protocols however brief their time in office, had become great liabilities.
