Changes: President

Revision as of 01:19, 5 November 2015

President was a title sometimes given to heads of state, or who presided over a governmental or corporate body.

General Santa Anna was the President of Mexico in 1836. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")

The United States of America's Executive Branch was governed by a president. Trip Tucker, hearing that Mestral may have lived on Earth from 1957 until well into the 22nd century, reckoned that the Vulcan explorer would have lived through "what - thirty presidents?". The first of these would have been Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. (TOS: "The Cage"; DS9: "Little Green Men"; ENT: "Carbon Creek")

The head of state of the United Federation of Planets was a president. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; DS9: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost")

Altair VI elected a new planetary president in 2267. The USS Enterprise, along with two other Federation starships, was scheduled to attend the president's inauguration. The Enterprise, however, diverted to Vulcan when Spock entered pon farr. (TOS: "Amok Time")

A Starfleet court martial, such as the one James T. Kirk endured in 2267, was also overseen by a "president". (TOS: "Court Martial")

After negotiating Cardassia's annexation into the Dominion in 2373, Dukat effectively became the emperor of the Cardassian people, though still a servant of the Founders. However, he chose to maintain his rank of Gul as opposed to Legate because he felt it was more "hands on", and Emperor, President, First Minister and Emissary seemed too "pretentious". (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water")

Salutation

Mr. President was a formal salutation used when addressing the president of a government.

James T. Kirk referred to the Excalbian who appeared as the former President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, as "Mr. President". (TOS: "The Savage Curtain")

Both the Human and Efrosian Federation presidents were referred to as "Mr. President", as well as President Jaresh-Inyo. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; DS9: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost")

When The Doctor portrayed the President of Earth in order to conduct negotiations with a photonic lifeform, Harry Kim addressed him as "Mr. President" upon his return. (VOY: "Bride of Chaotica!")
