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.
