Characteristics of republic
In most modern republic the head of state is termed president. Other titles that have been used are consul, doge, archon and many others. In republics that are also democracies the head of state is appointed as the result of an election. This election can be indirect, such as if a council of some sort is elected by the people, and this council then elects the head of state. In these kinds of republics the usual term for a president is in the range of four to six years.
