Acting President

An Acting President is a person who temporarily fills the role of an organization's or country's president, either when the real president is unavailable (for example ill or on vacation) or when the post is vacant (for example because of death, injury, resignation, or dismissal).

Famous quotes containing the words acting and/or president:

    “Between the acting of a dreadful thing
    And the first motion, all the interim is
    Like a phantasma or a hideous dream.
    The genius and the mortal instruments
    Are then in council, and the state of man,
    Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
    The nature of an insurrection.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I can’t be President since I am a naturalized citizen, but I figured everything else was fair game.”
    —Arati Prabhakar (b. c. 1959)
