President Of The United Arab Emirates: Head of state of the United Arab Emirates
The President of the United Arab Emirates is the head of state of the United Arab Emirates.
Officially, he is elected every five years by the Federal Supreme Council, but because the emir (leader) of Abu Dhabi customarily also holds the presidency of the UAE, the office is de facto hereditary. The President is also Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Chairman of the Supreme Council and Supreme Petroleum Council.
