expresident

Expresident is a term used to refer to a person who previously held the office of president. It denotes a former head of state and is distinct from current presidents, acting presidents, or interim leaders. Although not an official title in most jurisdictions, expresident is commonly used in media and biographical writing to identify someone’s status after leaving office.

Post-presidency roles and privileges vary by country. Some former presidents receive pensions, security details, or ceremonial duties, while others have limited formal status. Legal immunities and accountability also differ: in some systems, immunity or legal protections end with the term of office, while in others certain protections may persist or be subject to interpretation. Ex-presidents may engage in diplomacy, advocacy, writing, or philanthropy, and may retain influence through parties, networks, or public speaking.

Etymology and usage: expresident is formed from ex- or former + president. In English, ex-president or former president is more common; expresident appears in some texts as a neutral compound or a shorthand. Other languages use fused forms such as ex-presidente or former president equivalents, reflecting different orthographies.

See also: former president; head of state; post-presidency. Examples of well-known expidents include individuals who have remained active in politics or public life after leaving office, though the exact status of ex-leaders varies by constitutional framework and country.
