President of France

The President of France, officially the President of the French Republic (French: Président de la République française), is the head of state and head of executive of France as well as the Commander-in-Chief of the French Armed Forces. The French presidency is the supreme magistracy of the country, and the president is the holder of the highest office in France.

The powers, functions and duties of prior presidential offices, as well as their relation with the Prime Minister of France and government of France, have over time differed with the various constitutional documents since the French Second Republic. The President of the French Republic is also the ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra, Grand Master of the Legion of Honour and of the National Order of Merit. The officeholder is also honorary proto-canon of the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran in Rome (although some have rejected the title in the past).

The current President of the French Republic is Emmanuel Macron, who succeeded François Hollande on 14 May 2017.
