The president of Montesayette, officially the president of the Montesayettean Commonwealth (Quebecshirite: Président de la Communauté montesayette), is the head of state and head of government of Montesayette. The president is the chair of the State Council and, during wartime, the commander-in-chief of the Montesayettean Defense Forces.
Throughout the Montesayettean history, the powers, functions and duties of the presidency, in addition to their relation to the prime minister and government of Montesayette, have over time differed with the various constitutional documents since the Second Commonwealth. After the end of the Fourth Commonwealth in 1991, the Constitution and the Presidential Election Act provide for election of the president by direct, secret ballot to a seven-year term, with no term limits in place. The incumbent president is Hervé Dufriche-Desgenettes, a former member of the House of Representatives and leader of the Democratic Party, who took office on 28 October 2023, after defeating the Social Democratic Party's nominee Léonard Dreyfus in the 2023 Montesayettean presidential election.

Selection process
Eligibility
According to the Constitution, a presidential candidate must be a citizen of Montesayette who is at least 35 years old, and is physically and mentally capable of performing their duties. They must be resident in Montesayette at the date of their nomination for election, must have been so resident for periods amounting in the aggregate to not less than ten years prior to that date, and must not have voluntarily acquired citizenship of, or exercised rights of citizenship in, a foreign country, or having made a declaration of allegiance to a foreign country. A presidential candidate must also be nominated by a political party or a coalition of political parties and have reported their wealth to the National Ombudsperson.
The Constitution also states that further criteria will be determined by laws, which is the Presidential Election Act. The Presidential Election Act expands that a presidential candidate must not be an undischarged bankrupt, hold an office of profit, be convicted of an offense by a court of law (whether Montesayettean or not) and sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not less than one year or to a fine of not less than M£10,000 (or equivalent in foreign currency) and having not received a pardon. The person if convicted by a foreign court of law shall not be disqualified unless the offense is also one which, had it been committed in Montesayette, would have been punishable by a court of law in Montesayette.
Presidential candidates must also have served at least three years as cabinet ministers, members of the House of Representatives and/or Senate, or permanent secretaries (or equivalent positions) in civil service organizations. Alternatively, a presidential candidate can also be qualified if they have for a period of not less than three years held office as the most senior executives of a key statutory board, a state-owned enterprise, a privately-owned corporation with an average of ₵500 million in shareholders' equity for the most recent three years in that office, and which is profitable after taxes, or in any other similar or comparable position of seniority and responsibility in any other organization or department of equivalent size or complexity in the public or private sector which has given them such experience and ability in administering and managing financial affairs as to enable them to carry out effectively the functions and duties of the office of president.
