The President is a mountain peak on the The President/Vice-President Massif, just North of Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, near the Alpine Club of Canada's Stanley Mitchell hut.

The President was named Shaugnessy in 1904 by Edward Whymper after Thomas Shaugnessy, the president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1907, the mountain was renamed by the Alpine Club of Canada, after it was discovered that the name had already been used on a mountain in the Selkirks.

El Señor Presidente

El Señor Presidente (Mister President) is a 1946 novel written in Spanish by Nobel Prize–winning Guatemalan writer and diplomat Miguel Ángel Asturias (1899–1974). A landmark text in Latin American literature, El Señor Presidente explores the nature of political dictatorship and its effects on society. Asturias makes early use of a literary technique now known as magic realism. One of the most notable works of the dictator novel genre, El Señor Presidente developed from an earlier Asturias short story, written to protest social injustice in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in the author's home town.

Although El Señor Presidente does not explicitly identify its setting as early twentieth-century Guatemala, the novel's title character was inspired by the 1898–1920 presidency of Manuel Estrada Cabrera. Asturias began writing the novel in the 1920s and finished it in 1933, but the strict censorship policies of Guatemalan dictatorial governments delayed its publication for thirteen years.

    The President

    by: Snow Patrol

    I've run to ground
    I've run from everyone that I have ever known
    I'm aching cold
    I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me
    And it's broke before you know it
    Before you knew what it was for
    All you know is you can't fix it
    And you wish you listened more
    To your instincts, to your family
    To the wisdom you'd ignored
    Are you finally gonna ask us -- for help?
    I've crashed to Earth
    But I've fallen for so long that it was just relief
    I saw your face
    In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes
    And it's broke before you know it,
    Before you knew what it was for
    All you know is you can;t fix it
    And you wish you listened more
    To your instincts, to your family
    To the wisdom you'd ignored
    When you finally gonna ask us -- for help?
    I can see you at the front gate
    As you wait on my return
    The years have blurred to eons
    But the tears have never dried
    But I'm not coming to you like this
    So batter down and sad
    I will take the road forgotten
