This is a list of Presidents (and acting Presidents) of Lebanon since the creation of the office in 1926. Though it is not specifically stated in the constitution, an unwritten understanding known as the National Pact, agreed in 1943, has resulted in the holder of the post being a Maronite Christian in every electoral cycle since that time. This agreement had to be suspended three times, when three Sunni Muslims, the former Prime Ministers had to step in as Acting Presidents, Selim Hoss in 1988, Fouad Siniora in 2007 and Tammam Salam in 2014. The president is largely a ceremonial and symbolic post. Nevertheless, the president is still able to exercise influence on policy making and has the role, in conjuction with the prime minister, to choose ministers in the Lebanese Government and safeguard the constitution.
