A president is a leader of an organization, company, trade union, university, or country.

Etymologically, a president is one who presides, who sits in leadership (from Latin pre- "before" + sedere "to sit"; giving the term praeses). Originally, the term referred to the presiding officer of a ceremony or meeting (i.e., chairman), but today it most commonly refers to an official. Among other things, president today is a common title for the heads of state of most republics, whether popularly elected, chosen by the legislature or by a special electoral college. It is also often adopted by dictators.

What do you think about the president asking citizens to snitch on others about the health care meetings?
Q. As I'm sure your aware of, the president has posted on the white house web site a link where people can snitch on others who spread the word about the town hall meetings such as through e-mail or on face book or other web sites? Personally I think it's sad. When Bush was President. Hillary Clinton back in 2003 made a statement saying that she and other liberals should be able to criticize the president, but if anyone criticizes 0bama we can't do that.

How has president Franklin improved your life?
Q. That 100th president makes a lot of difference. Back when I was in high school, a teacher told me I needed to learn my presidents or I would fail. I said, I only need to know one, the 100th president of the United States of America, and pulled out some money, and thanks to President Franklin I passed.

A. You and your trick questions. There has been no 100th president of the U.S. and no President Franklin. However, I like to have as many $100 bills as possible with Benjamin Franklin face on them.
