The Presidency of the Hellenic Republic is the highest office in Greece, representing the nation both domestically and internationally. The President is elected by the Hellenic Parliament for a five-year term and can serve a maximum of two terms. The role is largely ceremonial, with real political power resting with the Prime Minister and the government. The President's duties include signing laws, appointing the Prime Minister, and representing Greece at official events. The office was established in 1975, following the fall of the military junta, and has since played a crucial role in promoting democracy and stability in the country.
