René Gérard Stéphane Mitterrand is a Chênique politician and attorney who is the 47th and incumbent President of the Republic of Chênes. He was previously the Statesmen Attorney General of the State of Souhegan and the East Chênes Senator for Souhegan from 2004 to 2012, having served under Presidents Paul Barthélemy until 2008 and Incalatanga until 2012. He is a member of the political party, the Société des Commerçants.

Born in Sainte-Josephine, Lanaudiere, Mitterrand studied and graduated from the University of Vignobles and subsequently acquiring his law degree at the University of South Augusta. He began working at the State of Vignobles Statesmen Attorney office, subsequently bouncing around East Chênes and their different Statesmen Attorney offices. He worked a total of ten years at four different Statesmen Attorney offices: Vignobles, Lanaudiere, Montgomery, and Souhegan. In 2000, Mitterrand was elected as the Statesman Attorney General of the state of Souhegan, and again in 2004 as a re-election. Mitterrand was subsequently elected to the Senate of East Chênes as a Commerçant in Souhegan against the Indépendant bid, Gerard Cavada. He was elected alongside Commerçants Sokoki, Madockawando, and Marcel Lassalle. Mitterrand became known as a radical within the Commerçants against the Indépendants and the power of the Quanassee Government over West Chênes. During his tenure in the Senate, he became known as a Baptiste-Merlinist and a member of the Merlins Dogs, a group of Baptiste-Merlinists Commerçants within the Chênique government. Mitterrand recieved the spotlight in his re-election as a Senator for Souhegan in 2008 against Indépendant Jacques Cavelier, where he won by a landslide. During his time as senator in both terms, he participated in the East Chênes Senatorial Infrastructure Committee until 2009, and subsequently the East Chênes Senatorial Commerce & Business Committee until 2012.

Mitterrand alongside fellow Merlinist Oconostota, defeated the Indépendants Alain Philémon and Jeanne du Marie in the 2012 Chênique Presidential Election. His initial presidency involved significant development into various infrastructure projects his liberal attitudes towards social issues. His presidency also heavily clashed with the Quanassee Government and the Senate of West Chênes with the development of infrastructure projects. Over 90% of his overall infrastructure projects were conducted in East Chênes due to a lack of support from the Quanassee Government. Alongside this, he presided over the establishment of the SNS, the National Healthcare Services and the signing of the Groseilliers Military Act. Mitterrand's initial presidency was described as one of the politically tense presidential tenures within Chênes. Alongside his social liberalization, he established a long-running distrust and divide between West Chênes and East Chênes that is primarily rooted in the popularity of Western Chênique Independence.
