The French presidents are elected for a period of five years (previously seven) and can run for a second term. The current French president (april 2012) is Nicolas Sarkozy who is in the last month of his five-year term - and unlikely to win a second one.

Role of Charles de Gaulle after World War 2?
CHARLES DE GAULLE WAS THE LEADER OF THE ANTI-NAZI UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT AGAINST HITLER WHEN HITLER CONQUERED FRANCE.AFTER THE D-DAY LANDING IN NORMANDY,FRANCE AND HITLER WAS FORCED OUT OF FRANCE HE WAS MADE THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE TO LEAD THE FRENCH FORCES FROM FRANCE AGAINST THE FUEHRER(HITLER) AS AN ALLIED ATTACK AND WHEN THE ALLIES WON THE WORLD WAR 2 HE WAS CLEARLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE... The above message contains debatable information/opinion. De Gaulle participated very little in the pre-invasion planning leading up to June 6, 1944. When shown the final plans by Eisenhower, De Gaulle is reported to have criticized it extensively, but had never shown any interest in the planning of the invasion. De Gaulle was an almost necessary figurehead for the French who yearned for freedom from the Nazi rule. To call De Gaulle the "leader of the anti-Nazi underground" is a great stretch of the truth. He functioned more as a politician who was only too happy to march at the front of the column of troops as they made their way into Paris on 19 August 1944. He was otherwise pretty useless (my opinion) to the Allied efforts to liberate Europe.
