The Republic of Colorado is a unitary one-party parliamentary democratic republic. The President of Colorado serves both as head of state and as head of government. The President is elected by the General Assembly and must retain the confidence of the Assembly to remain in office.
Executive power is exercised within the framework of a one-party system by the President and the Government, which consists of the State Council led by the President. Its members are typically chosen from the General Assembly, though exceptions are not uncommon.
Legislative power is vested in the General Assembly. Members of the General Assembly are elected from a closed list presented by the Colorado Party, which is approved through a referendum by the electorate. The Colorado Party is the sole legal political party in the Republic of Colorado. Parliamentary elections occur at least every six months.
As head of state and government, the President is the supreme commander of the Armed Forces, has the power to sit as a voting member of the General Assembly, veto legislation passed by the General Assembly, and dissolve the General Assembly under certain conditions. The General Assembly elects the President annually.
The political system is defined by the Coloradan Constitution, which also guarantees a wide range of individual freedoms. The judicial branch plays a minor role in politics, except for the Constitutional Court, which can annul laws that violate constitutional freedoms.
