The Constitution of the Confederate States was very similar to the Constitution of the United States, but there were key differences.

The major difference was that the Confederate President was elected to a single six year term and was not eligible for reelection.
Jefferdon Davis was President of the Confederate States of America
The Confederate Constitution was modeled after the US Constitution with the major exception of legalizing slavery. Also, the term of the Confederate president was limited to a six year term. With that said, the Confederate Constitution mirrored the US's with the president performing the duties of the Commander in Chief. Davis however, saw his role differently. For Davis, he decided to act not only as commander in chief, but also as the general in chief. The Confederate Congress created the position of general in chief, however, Davis never filled it until 1865 when he named Lieutenant Robert E. Lee as general in chief.
