Usage Note
Cesar is used formally and in written registers (cesar en el cargo = 'to leave a post'). In everyday speech parar or dejar de are more common for 'to stop'. Note the capital César is the proper name Caesar; the lowercase verb cesar is distinct. Cesar en sus funciones is the standard formula for an official leaving office.
Examples
"Las negociaciones cesaron sin acuerdo."
Natural Translation
The negotiations ceased without an agreement.
