The two co-princes serve coequally with limited powers that do not include veto over government acts.
Both are represented in Andorra by a delegate, although since 1993, both France and Spain have their own embassies.
As co-princes of Andorra, the president of France and the bishop of Urgell maintain supreme authority in approval of all international treaties with France and Spain, as well as all those that deal with internal security, defense, Andorran territory, diplomatic representation, and judicial or penal cooperation.
The way the two co-princes are chosen makes Andorra one of the most politically distinct nations on Earth.
One co-prince is the current sitting president of France, currently Emmanuel Macron (it has historically been any head of state of France, including kings and emperors of the French).
