		One could say that, whereas in parliamentary systems a prime minister may be master of his or her party and the government, prime ministers in presidential systems are usually the servants, with the Head of State the master of the government who can employ or terminate anyone, including the prime minister, at will.
		In, or governments which have arisen from coups-d'état, this position is obvious, as all authority in such a government derives from the application of military force; occasionally a power vacuum created by war is filled by a head of state stepping beyond his or her normal constitutional role, as did during.

		The first public proclamation reading in 1963 was followed by similar public readings in 1966, 1969, 1972, and 1974, before we came to the 1975 reading, and there have so far been eight more since then.
