		Under the French Third and the Fourth Republics, the "President of the Council" (of ministers) was the head of government, with the President of the Republic a largely symbolic figurehead.
		In French legal terminology, the president of a court consisting of multiple judges is the foremost judge; he chairs the meeting of the court and directs the debates (and this thus addressed as "Mr President", Monsieur le Président, or appropriate feminine forms).
		Though the president is to be chosen solely by a unanimous decision by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the entire body of the church votes to sustain the President in this calling.

	Finnish Law
		Finland has a mixed presidential/parliamentary system with executive powers divided between the president, who has primary responsibility for national security and foreign affairs, and the prime minister, who has primary responsibility for all other areas.
		Finland's 1995 accession to the European Union has blurred the line between foreign and domestic policy; the respective roles of the president and prime minister are evolving, and plans are under consideration to rewrite the constitution to clarify these and other issues.
		The regular parliamentary term is four years; however, the president may dissolve the Eduskunta and order new elections at the request of the prime minister and after consulting the speaker of parliament.

		arja Halonen, the 11th President of Finland and the first woman to hold her country's highest position, was inaugurated for a six-year term on 1 March 2000.
		Not even when she was running for the presidency did she falter on points of principle concerning her personal life, even though it was widely believed that a woman who had relinquished her membership of the (semi-established) church and was living in a nonmarital cohabitation would scare off voters.
		President Halonen avoids unnecessary ostentation, and there is no doubt that this will have a knock-on effect on life at the Presidential Palace.
