He was President of the Confederate States of America.

He did not want the job - he was hoping to be made General-in-Chief of the Confederate armies. So he did not appoint anyone else to that job (until the last weeks of the war), and tried to do it himself.

He proved unequal to the task - not able to control either his Generals or his cabinet.
