The '''President of the Alliance''' is a defunct office that served as the head of state of the [[Alliance]] from 3230 until 3305, when it was abolished.<ref name="APRA">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d0a5a3b3728fe3d262882ee GalNet: 21 JUN 3305.

==Changes and Abolition==
Following constitutional changes approved by the [[Alliance Assembly]] on October 26, 3304, the presidency's role was revised with the creation of the Office of the Alliance President, a non-political department that the Alliance President was tasked with overseeing. The Office consisted of a team of ambassadorial emissaries who focused on diplomatic functions, a responsibility formerly shouldered by individual [[Council Member]]s. The Alliance President's term was also revised: instead of being able to serve up to two one-year terms, the Alliance President would from then on serve a single three-year term.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5bcde4361cee9a6ed44a28ac GalNet: 26 OCT 3304. Alliance Assembly Revises Presidential Role]</ref>

Following the exposure of a far-reaching conspiracy masterminded by President [[Gibson Kincaid]] to concentrate executive power in the presidency and move the Alliance's political center from [[Alioth]] to [[Zaonce]], with the eventual goal of allowing Kincaid to establish himself as the supreme ruler of the Alliance with absolute power, the Assembly removed Kincaid from office on June 13, 3305 and [[Alliance Interpol]] charged him and his co-conspirators with treason, murder, and corruption.<ref name="PKI">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d0239210af2d9467f36c791 GalNet: 13 JUN 3305. President Kincaid Impeached]</ref>

On June 21, 3305, citing Kincaid's crimes as proof that the presidency was vulnerable to abuse, the Assembly approved another change to the constitution that abolished the presidency entirely. The former Office of the Alliance President was restructured into the [[Alliance Office of Diplomatic Relations]] under the oversight of [[Elijah Beck]], who resigned from the Assembly to take on the role, and the new diplomatic department was devoted entirely to non-political ambassadorial duties.<ref name="APRA" /><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/605dd98c80c2570d06280658 GalNet: 26 MAR 3307.
