It's the same thing i want to say (better explained too (thanks, i forgot Gordon Brown XD)). However, you could say, that's the Spanish title! I'm fine with that, and 'President of the Government of Spain' would also be a good title for this article, but 'President of Spain' is definitely not. Both conditions are met with your Bush argument. The issue with a direct translation of the Spanish title is that in English 'President' usually carries meanings beyond that of 'head of executive', like 'Head of State', and is usually associated with republican regimes. So? There doesn't need to be reciprocity, so that's just non sequitur. Long ago) 'Primer Ministro del RU' instead of 'Presidente del Gobierno de RU'. You argue that we call Gordon Brown (breaking news: Tony Blair resigned. The literally translated title would be 'President of the Government of Spain', as it has been argued here, but that very position (the chairman of a government council) has an English name by itself: Prime Minister. I'm Spanish too (hell, I could even post my DNI here to prove it), and the office is not named 'Presidente de España', but 'Presidente del Gobierno' (de España/la Nación/whatever). The only correct definition is 'President of Spain'.

'Prime Minister of Spain' is an incorrect definition, it`s like if i called Tony Blair as 'President of UK', or George Bush as 'Prime Minister of the USA'. There isn't a general definition for 'President'. So, the 'President of Spain' has a diferent meaning than the 'President of the USA'. I'm Spanish, and i have to say that the definition of the word 'President' depends from the Nation. Spain does not have a president (a republican Head of State, which would be Presidente del Estado Español) but rather a King. Spain has a prime minister, in Spanish Presidente del Gobierno literally 'Chairman of the Government'. Wik 00:06, (UTC) The Presidents of Spain ruled the First and Second Spanish Republics. And the list is mainly about the prime ministers, the kings have a separate article. A governor rules a subnational entity or a colony. Neither the king nor the prime minister is a 'governor'. The page Prime Minister of Spain should not be a list, only a definition of what the Prime Minister of Spain is. Given that both the Chief of State and Head of Government are listed, it is appropriate to call it List of governors of Spain. Precisely because of this 'presidente' is commonly used as shorthand for 'presidente del gobierno', but he's no more the president of Spain than the president of the United States Senate is president of the United States. As far as I know there is no country that has both a 'president' and a reigning monarch.

Cantus Wik is right that it is never 'President of Spain'. The point being, it is still called a President. Cantus 05:54, (UTC)Ĭan you grasp the difference between 'President of the Government' and 'President of Spain'? - Wik 05:56, (UTC) Per CIA Factbook, the Head of Government is called President of the Government (Spanish: Presidente del Gobierno), so yes, there is such a thing as President of Spain. Is there no pisition of a president of Spain? RickK | Talk 05:45, (UTC) This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.
