The President of the Union of Christian States is the head of state and head of government of the Christian States. The president leads the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the Christian States Armed Forces. The person in this position is the leader of the country which has the largest military, with command authority over the largest active nuclear arsenal. The president is frequently described as the most powerful person in the League of Christian Nations.

Article II of the U.C.S. Constitution vests the executive power of the Christian States in the president and charges him with the execution of federal law, alongside the responsibility of appointing federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial officers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers with the advice and consent of the Senate. The president is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves, and to convene and adjourn either or both houses of Congress under extraordinary circumstances.

The president is directly elected by the people through national election to a four-year term, and is one of only two nationally elected federal officers, the other being the Vice President. On January 21, 2012, Leonardo Blackstone was elected as the fourth non-interim president
