 | | President of France">President of the Fifth French Republic (1958-1969) Between 1870 and 1940, and again from 1945 to 1958, France operated a classic parliamentary system of government, with power in a cabinet chosen by the National Assembly, and a largely though not totally symbolic president. |
 | | Some countries with parliamentary systems use the term 'president' in connection with the head of parliamentary government, often as 'President of the Government', 'President of the Council of Ministers' or 'President of the Executive Council'. |
 | | In the United States, the President is indirectly elected by the U.S. Electoral College made up of electors chosen by voters in the presidential election. |
