The President of the Marshall Islands is the head of government and head of state of the Marshall Islands, a Micronesian nation in the Pacific Ocean, just west of the International Date Line and just north of the Equator. He or she is elected by the Nitijela (Legislature) from among its members. Presidents pick cabinet members from the Nitijela. Amata Kabua was elected as the first president of the republic in 1979.
