The Presidency of the Champanois Federative Socialist Republic (Barro-Liguersien: Presidènccia de la RFSC; Gaullican: Présidence de la RFSC) is a six-member body which collectively serves as the head of state of Champania. The office was created following the ratification of the 2022 constitution in April, with elections held the second week of May. The presidency is made up of a directly elected official from each of Champania's three constituent republics, two autonomous provinces, and the General Secretary of the Champanois Socialist Workers' Party ex officio.
Individuals elected to the presidency serve for a collective six-year term, with no limits on how many times they can be re-elected to the presidency.
Although the body is the collective head of state, one member is designated as President. The position of President of the Presidency rotates once around the six members every year, with the General Secretary becoming the first President over the six-year term.
