The last caliph was killed in 128?

This depends on what you mean by the word caliph. If you are referring to the rightfully guided Caliphs, who came right after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (S), then the last one, Hasan ibn Ali (RA) died in the year 50 After Hijra. There is debate about whether he or Ali ibn Abi Talib, his father, is the last of the rightfully guided Khalifas. Ali died in 40 AH. The Caliphate, however, was never officially abolished until the year 1924 AD, or 1343 AH. The last Caliph, Abdulmecid the second of the Ottoman Empire, was forced to abolish his title upon the formation of the Republic of Turkey.

There was no President of the Empire. It was a Sultanate and Caliphate with a typically hereditary ruler, from 1299 to 1922, when it became Turkey (which has a president). --- The last Sultan (by title) was Mehmed VI (1861-1926) who served from 1918 to 1922 after the defeat of the empire as part of the Central Powers of World War I. The last imperial ruler was his cousin, His Imperial Majesty The Sultan Abdülmecid II (1868-1944) as Caliph of Islam. Abdulmecid was named Caliph by the Turkish National Assembly in 1922 after the Sultanate was abolished, but the Caliphate too was abolished in 1924, and he was expelled from the country. The new secular state of Turkey came under the leadership of Mustafa Ataturk as the first President.
