"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the Union States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Union of Earth States."

- Oath of the Presidency

The President of the Union States was the head of state of the Union of Earth States since its founding in 81 BBY, a union of states, nations and former kingdoms and empires that banded together. The duties of the President was involved in a number of responsibilities such as leading the Union High Council and presiding over its meetings, approving and signing of new bills, laws and policies enacted by the Senate, meeting with foreign leaders and delegates.

The President however did not preside or wasn't directly involved with the Senate or the Supreme Courts as those responsibilities and duties were given to the Secretary of State, the head of government and official leader of the Senate and Supreme Courts. The Secretary of State was also second-in-line for the Office of the President of the Union States should the current standing President was incapacitated, died, resigned or removed from office.

Each President was legally only allowed to serve a single term of 8 years and were ineligible for additional terms. In the Constitution, it was outlined that any President attempting to interfere or change these laws, they should be immediately removed from office, either by the Senate or Secretary of State, or by force.
