Mantyniementie, Helsinki, Finland

The President of the Republic of Finland is the head of state of Finland. Under the Constitution of Finland, executive power is vested in the President and the Finnish Government, with the former possessing only residual powers. The President is directly elected by universal suffrage for a term of six years. Since 1991, no President may be elected for more than two consecutive terms. The President must be a Finnish citizen by birth. The Presidential office was established in the Constitution Act of 1919. Since March 1, 2012, the President of Finland has been Sauli Niinistö. Finland has, for most of its independence, had a semi-presidential system in which the president had much authority and power over both foreign and domestic policy , but in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the powers of the President have been subject to decrease.
