The Federal constitution says, its president is elected for an eight year term, with a vote of no confidence after four years. If the vote is won, nothing happens, but should the sitting president lose it, the vice president will be given the opportunity to form a government, while the incumbent president is removed from office.
As we know from historic sources (Gellan/Smith in 2866), the president following the one who lost the vote, will serve an eight year term himself with a vote of no confidence.
In 3301, Halsey disappeared and eventually was removed from office, with Hudson being the new president. Four years later i.e. in 3305 he should face a vote of no confidence. We have January 3306 as of the writing of this post.
This raises a question: Do we have a constitutional crisis in the Federation, did I (and everybody I spoke to) miss the corresponding Galnet articles, or did FDev forget to implement that storyline/not bother to?
I really like to have an explanation for this...
