The primary difference between a king and a president lies in their modes of authority and governance. A king typically inherits their position through royal lineage and often holds a lifetime tenure, often embodying the state and its traditions. In contrast, a president is usually elected by the populace or a governing body for a fixed term, representing a democratic system and accountable to the electorate. Additionally, kings may possess absolute power, whereas presidents often operate within a framework of checks and balances.

A president is elected wheras a king is put in charge because either his mother or father were king or queen, of because he is invited to be king for other reasons. A country run by a king is called a monarchy. A country can have a king and not be run by a king, or queen. Then it may be a democratic country as well as a monarchy. Great Britain is a good example of this. A country run by a president usually claims to be a democracy or republic. However, a country can be run by a person called a president but actually be a dictatorship.
