Template:Stub The President of the United States (POTUS) is the head of the U.S. Executive Branch and head of state of the United States of America.

Current President

The current President is George W. Bush. He is scheduled to leave office on January 20, 2009. His successor will be elected in 2008.

Election

The President is selected every four years by the Electoral College, a few days after their election on Election Day. This process makes the Presidency one of the few non elected political positions in the United States of America.

Term Limits

After Franklin Roosevelt served a little over twelve years in office, Congress passed a Constitutional Amendment restricting future Presidents to two terms.

However if the Vice President succeeds to the Presidency, with no more than two years left in the prior President's term, they are allowed to to run for two terms, raising the potential time in office to ten years.

Term limits were instituted to prevent one man from being President for life.

Past Presidents
