Legitimacy in a state refers to the general acceptance and recognition of its authority and governance by the population and other entities. It can take various forms, including legal legitimacy, derived from established laws and constitutional processes; moral legitimacy, based on ethical principles and justice; and traditional legitimacy, rooted in historical or cultural practices. A state's legitimacy is crucial for maintaining social order, stability, and the effective functioning of government, as it fosters trust and cooperation among citizens. When legitimacy is perceived as lacking, it can lead to unrest, resistance, or challenges to the state's authority.

I would imagine a President would likely not be an example of an anarchist, since an anarchist opposes and critiques the legitimacy and purpose of the existence of a state (and thus of the government it supports). Since the President would be a head of the state, it seems hard to believe that she would not believe in the legitimacy of her position.
