Abolition of Monarchy
The Office of the President of Dranland was established in November 3336 after the abolition of the Dranish monarchy, headed by Queen Ceridwen Cadwallader. Preceding the presidency was the Lord Chancellery, which was a directly elected head of state who served alongside the monarch for the interests of the people.

At its inception the position of president in the Republic of Dranland was purely a head of state; and head of government continued to be held by the Prime Minister. This would remain the case until the late 3400s.

Following the establishment of the presidency in November 3336, Lord Chancellor Julia Beckerman served as interim president until official elections in September 3338. In those elections Beckerman would officially become the first president of Dranland.

Constitutional Reform
During the presidency of Ragnar Solfjord, constitutional reforms were carried out to change the power of the office. In June 3483 parliament accepted Solfjord's proposal to eliminate the Premiership and to also make the president become head of government.
