Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges befehligte Chehab die "Troupes", die ab 1942 einen wichtigen Teil der freifranzösischen Armee bildeten, und aus insgesamt 22.000 Mann Freiwilligen aus dem Libanon und Syrien bestanden.
Chehab wurde der Kompromisskandidat, und wurde mit großer Mehrheit vom libanesischen Parlament gewählt.
1964 widersetzte sich Chehab einer Verfassungsänderung, die ihm eine zweite Amtszeit ermöglicht hätte, und überließ das Amt seinem politischen Freund und Weggefährten, dem Schriftsteller und Philosophen Charles Helou.
Fuad Chehab - Iridis Encyclopedia(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
As commander of the Lebanese Army, Chehab was famous for his decision to remain neutral during the uprising in 1952 against president Bishara Khouri, and again in 1958 during the uprising against Camille Chamoun.
Chehab was widely hailed as a force for stability and healing between pro and anti-government forces when he was elected president after the resignation of Camille Chamoun, famously proclaiming that the "revolution has no winners and no losers".
Chehab's rule was a delicate balancing act, trying to maintain peace between the nation's Christian and Muslim population.
Chehab’s rule was a delicate balancing act to maintain harmony between the nation's Christian and Muslim population.
In 1964, Chehab, whose presence at the head of the country was still seen by many as the best option for stability and future reforms, refused to allow the Constitution to be amended for permitting him to run for another presidential term.
Chehab was widely expected to contest the presidential election of 1970, but in a historical declaration he said that his experience in office convinced him that the people of his country were not ready to put aside feudal traditional politics and support him in building a modern state.
2 - Although FouadChehab was a popular president among most segments of the Lebanese population, he was NOT a Muslim.
In fact, he was so popular that some parochial Christians deridingly called him 'Mohammed' FouadChehab.
I think it is important to note that the reason for his prominence was the fact that he was the first (and only) Lebanese president to actively pursue an agressive policy of rural development in the destitute regions of Lebanon.
The political systems structure first: When Lahoud came to power in 1998, he saw himself much the same way as did former President FouadChehab, whose contempt for the traditional political class was pervasive.
What Chehab, a military man who hailed from an established family, grasped, was that in Lebanon there were two parallel power structures: the traditional, mostly sectarian patrons; and the state, with is purportedly non-partisan institutions.
Chehab failed in the face of the patrons resistance, and that was not all a bad thing: for Chehabs reliance on the state meant considerable reliance on the army, so that the political system was essentially run for a time by the security services.

Naharnet Newsdesk - Ghassan Tueni's "Open Letter to Berri:" Learn from the Lessons of the Past(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Broad-based consultations are Speaker Nabih Berri's way out of a dilemma that has left him in the same bind as his predecessors when President FouadChehab, and, earlier, President Camille Chamoun sought constitutional amendments to remain in office, Ghassan Tueni recalled Monday.
In the same evening, Chehab announced that he would not seek re-election or an extension of his term, saying Lebanon was "run by the book" - his preferred way of alluding to the constitution.
And although Asaad did not enjoy the influence Berri now wields, yet he consulted the MPs one by one, bloc by bloc to reach the conclusion that allowing Chehab to remain in office was not a popular option.
With expansion works underway on the FouadChehab overpass, traffic between Zokak El Blat and Bashoura has been detoured toward Riad El Solh Square.
The rehabilitation and expansion of the FouadChehab overpass will facilitate traffic movement between different parts of the capital by connecting Salim Salam Avenue to the areas of Tabaris in Ashrafieh, Kantari, Hamra and the hotel district through Fakhredinne Street.
The first connects FouadChehab Avenue to the end of Fakhreddine (Zokak El Blat- Arlequin connection) while the second connects Fakhredinne with the FouadChehab Avenue (Phoenicia Hotel/PTT Center in Minet El Hosn).
Chehab, Fouad, Born in Ghazir in 1902, He was the 3rd President of the republic of Lebanon from 1958-64.
Although Helou began his term as a protege of FouadChehab, by the end of his term he had earned the ex-president’s ire.
He joined the judicial corps in 1953 and was assigned judge in the Accounting Department, a period during which he established a strong relationship with President FouadChehab.

In the 1960s, i helped build many of the institutions in this country hoping the Lebanese will use them as building blocks towards modernising their country.
Today, the Lebanese are clinging on more than ever to their feudal and militia leaders.

Such coalitions extended throughout the mandates of the Presidents who came into power after the independence: Camille Chamoun, FouadChehab, Sleiman Franjie and Amine Gemayel.
Hence, President FouadChehab chose Rachid Karame as Prime Minister who became an eminent leader in the country.
Whereas President Elias Sarkis chose Selim El Hoss, then employee at the Central Bank, to become Prime Minister and he still is today an eminent leader to his community and in the country.
Then "helped install" the Iraqi Baath, then also interfered in the "engineering" of elections in Lebanon, and the ensuing president, FouadChehab (like the "fascist Maronite" that he is) then set up the dark reign of a police state.
He never once tells you that FouadChehab was Nasser's candidate of choice!
