The Alcuahtl is selected by the Council following each election cycle. They are not above the law, and citizens may request a trial against them, or demand impeachment.

The Alcuahtl is not above the law, and citizens may request a trial against them, or demand impeachment.

The current Alcuahtl is Mightyoddish.

The Deputy Alcuahtl is the Alcuahtl's second in command, filling in when the Alcuahtl is unavailable. The current Deputy is bgbba.

'''History'''

Under the 1st Charter, there was no legal mechanism for removing an Alcuahtl, although citizens could still bring a trial against them.

Under the 1st and 2nd Charters, each Alcuahtl was nominated by their predecessor. While the 1st Charter stated that upon an Alcuahtl's abdication the Deputy should succeed them, in practice this often did not occur. TheOrangeWizard was nominated twice by outgoing Alcuahtls, first St_Liebowitz and second M_M_Mod_Shot, bypassing bgbba who was Deputy in both instances.

Under the 2nd Charter, the office of Deputy Alcuahtl did not exist.

=== Council ===

In addition to the Alcuahtl, the nation is governed by elected councillors, the number of which varies depending on circumstance. Councillors are citizens periodically elected to their position and hold limited executive authority. The current councillors are nico0078, Sventhar, and iOminous.

'''History'''

Under the 1st Charter, the Council acted as judiciary, legislature, and executive in the Yoahtl government. In most cases, the Alcuahtl could veto decisions of a councillor or councillors, but not decisions of a unanimous council.

Under the 2nd Charter, the elected Council did not exist. Instead, the Alcuahtl appointed Olotics to hold offices under the Alcuahtl's otherwise absolute executive authority. The 2nd Charter also transferred the Council's legislative role to a direct democracy, and the judiciary was made independent under the High Justice (although an Olotic would still serve as judge in a given case).

Under the 3rd Charter, the elected Council was restored but not its legislative or judicial powers.
