The President of the Amand Federal Republic is the head of state and Commander-in-Chief of Amandine. The elected official may run for a maximum of three terms, six years each, and performs both enumerated and informal duties for the federal government's Executive Branch.

Officially established in 1835 after the formation of the Federal Republic, the Amand presidency traces back to the nation's inception in 1808. Originally outlined under the Confederal Articles, the Republic of Amandine's Executive Branch was deliberately limited, especially when compared to the Legislative. The Republic's first President, Charles Flavien, set up precedent for the position. Despite having few enumerated powers in the nation's constitution, President Flavien and his successors acted as the ceremonial and foreign figurehead of Amandine with a deciding vote in Congress (in cases of ties). Over time, however, the President's position in government expanded. Augustin Olivier III, the Republic's third President, is largely considered the architect of the Presidency. Throughout his position, President Olivier III normalized the use of executive orders and vetoes against Congressional action. While he often came into conflict with the other branches and was stripped of certain powers, Augustin helped establish the Confederation of Southern Marceaunia as a means to grow the President's position over the nation and continent. Under the Republic, three Presidents took office.

The Confederation of Southern Marceaunia originally maintained the imbalance between the Executive and Legislature, later expanding the position by the onset of the First Continental War (1831-1836). As President Olivier III hoped, a larger confederation of states naturally gave the national government more influence over the affairs of the country. Even then, the government was still limited to a significant extend, exhausterbating the tensions between the Confederation and individual states. The First Continental War saw the rise of the first President General, Ferdinand Alban, who was appointed in 1833 to re-assert the Confederation against the Federal and separatist factions. Alban, a unpopular demagogue, was informally deposed by the Federalists in 1835, but was officially arrested for treason against the newly created Federal Republic upon the Treaty of Anne-Marie in 1836. Three Presidents took office under the Confederation of Southern Marceaunia.

Since its formation in 1835, twenty one Presidents have served the Federal Republic. After orchestrating the Federal Republic's creation, Arthur Laurence was likely to be unanimously voted in, but abdicated from the position on his own accords. Today, Simone Lachance is the nation's Commander-in-Chief, being elected to the position in 2016. President Lachance made history as the first female Amand President. Despite terms lasting six years, President Georges Rudolph held the position for the shortest duration after fatally suffering from pneumonia. Contrastingly, Edgar Germain II and Henri Philippe both served for the longest and have been the only to win three terms. The Constitution was amended in 1894 to prevent President Germain II from running for a fourth successive term under the anti-establishment Les Nouveaux Pères political party.

Two Presidents have died while holding office (Jacques Marchand and Georges Rudolph), while three Presidents have been impeached with only one of them resigning (Claude-Boniface Louis, Charles Perrin, and Paul Thomas). Jacques Marchand was assassinated one year after winning his re-election bid in 1860 after giving a speech to his supporters. Georges Rudolph passed away after recurring heart complications worsened. In 1903, Claude-Boniface Louis was impeached for embezzling funds, killing his chances of being re-elected despite avoiding removal. Charles Perrin was impeached for crimes undermining the election process and resigned four years into his first term. Paul Thomas was impeached for financial crimes, but was not removed and successfully campaigned for a second term.
