Presidents and vice presidents of the United States of America
President of the United States is the title of the head of state and head of government of the United States and the country’s highest political office by influence and recognition. The president leads the executive branch of the federal government.
The current president is lawyer and politician Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., better known as Joe Biden, for the 2021-2024 term. Its vice president for the first time in US history is the lawyer and politician Kamala Harris.
The president is elected by indirect suffrage by an electoral college (or by the House of Representatives if the electoral college does not grant a majority of votes to any candidate) for a four-year term.
Since the ratification of the Twenty-second Amendment in 1951, no person can be elected to the office of president more than twice. In the event of the death, impeachment, resignation, or resignation of a president, the vice president assumes the presidency.
