Who #Presides over the #President? - #Preside #Presidential #Pres. #Prez. @POTUS

Merriam-Webster says that a President is "one who presides over a meeting or assembly" ... does that make 'the leading priest/pastor/speaker at a church-service' the 'President' of that church-group?...

That word (the 'built' one below)—there might be something more to that word ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands ...

The word “President” is built on “to Act as Head or -Chief (Preside).”
The word "Preside" is built on "Before (in Front of, Over) + to Sit." 

but What Authority comes with the Office?


You know something about that word-history that
 I don't mention (and that probably isn't mentioned
 below)? 'Fill us in on it'- or just tell me what you
 think (or ask me about something in this- or another-
word that confuses you) with a comment below,
