The two Captains Regent are the Heads of State and fulfil their mandate collectively.

They are elected by the Great and General Council (Parliament) among its members. Their mandate lasts six months and the ceremony of their investiture takes place each year on 1^st April and 1^st October. 

They deserve the title of “Excellency” but once they have finished their mandate, they preserve neither prerogatives nor titles. 

The Captains Regent coordinate the sittings of the Congress of State without any right to vote; they summon, preside over and lead the works of the Great and General Council and of the Council of the XII.
