The '''President of the Union''' (PU) is the chief executive official of the [[Rensselaer Union]], and the presiding officer of the [[Executive Board]]. It is the second-highest elected position at [[Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute]] behind the [[Grand Marshal]] (GM), and is elected annually during [[GM Week]] alongside the GM and other elected Union officials. Unlike the Grand Marshal, whose interests are primarily in advocacy for RPI students, the PU primarily oversees the Union's facilities, business operations, and relations with the many clubs under its jurisdiction.

The PU wears a bowler or derby hat, in contrast to the GM's top hat.

Much like the GM, the PU predates the modern Rensselaer Union, first overseeing the [[RPI Union]] founded in 1890. They have consistently presided over the executive branch of the Union, from the [[Executive Committee]] up until it was replaced with the Executive Board in the 1961 Union Constitution.
