Being such a small country, what sort of privileges does the President have?

Right of veto; he can deny signing legislation into law, forcing a national referendum. Before our current president, this had never been used and honestly it's a bit dubious if he should have. And he decides who gets the right to form government.
Seeing as he was re-elected, I suppose the majority of my countrymen agree with him.

Thanks, but I meant more privileges than powers. I was curious because you mentioned reaching the Mayor on Facebook.

Is the President just a regular guy there? Does he get paid much? Does he have an official residence, or that sort of thing?
