The Hebrew word for president is נָשִׂיא 
listen and repeat if he’s a male and נְשִׂיאָה listen and repeat if she’s a female. The word comes from the root נ.שׂ.א (n.s.a) meaning lifting: the president is a person lifted up from his/her peers to an elevated status. In biblical times, נשיא refers to the prince of a tribe, but in later generations, it referred to the head of the great assembly, the Sanhedrin.
