Best Answer

The Provisional Confederate Congress had unanimously elected Jefferson Davis to be the provisional president of the South. This was on February 11, 1861. Later, after the US Civil War was underway, Davis was confirmed as the official Confederate president and elected to a six year term. Under the Confederate Constitution, presidents could serve only one term. There was no reelection process.
