The President of the Senate was a title often given to the presiding officer of a deliberative assembly.
The title of President of the Senate was given to the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.
The position was also retained by the Grand Vizier who oversaw the Imperial Senate.
The title President of the Senate was also given to the Chief of State of the New Republic in their capacity as leader of the New Republic Senate.
In Star Wars Legends sources written before the prequel trilogy, the term "President of the Senate" was used to refer to the head of state of the Galactic Republic; when the Prequel trilogy revealed the Republic's head of state to be called the Supreme Chancellor, "President of the Senate" was retconned to be one of the Chancellor's titles. However, The Essential Chronology and The New Essential Chronology have both identified the leader of the Senate during Ulic Qel-Droma's trial as President of the Senate, adding some confusion. The Databank article on Ulic Qel-Droma describes the President as Supreme Chancellor.
