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. Since 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.
