President of the United Federation of Planets



The President of the United Federation of Planets is the executive head of the Federation government. The president acts as head of state for the Federation government.

There have been a total of 43 Federation Presidents.

President Jacob Wolf was assassinated in 2429, just after his first reelection. President Akri Hysuda was sworn into office on November 21st, 2429, only seven months after the election.

While not a law it is tradition for Federation Presidents to serve only two 4-year terms, honorably stepping down afterwards. President Listok was the first president to attempt to hold power longer and, with the help of Admiral Gauss Dekker, staged a coup against the Federation Council. Dekker eventually turned on Listok, who was killed in the battle. Afterwards, Jacob Wolf, former CinC of Star Fleet, was elected in the first ever write-in victory in Federation History.
