This is a question I've considered a good deal on my own, but, I'd like a broader opinion. Let us say there is a timeline in which there is no United States, or earlier fragmented, and thus no POTUS title, what would the most likely republican title be? Would President evolve into preference anyway? What are some of the common ones users here would choose for republics in such an instance? I would even extend this into what would common legislative titles if Congress didn't exist beyond the Continental Congress.
