Appointment

The presidency of the continental congress was similar to that of a Prime Minister in the sense that it relied on the support of the legislature. The presidency was elected and appointed, along with the continental vice presidency, by the continental congress. The president served at the pleasure of the legislature, having no fixed term length, and relied on the body's confidence to remain in office.
