President of Iraq

The President of Iraq is Iraq's head of state and chief of government. All of Iraqis presidents have been authoritarian dictators so the office does not have a clearly designed constitutional structure.

The president exercises all power single-handedly, operating only with the consultation of a small cabinet.

Presidents of Iraq:

Muhammad Najib ar-Ruba'i[?] (1958-1963) - Head of State
Abd as-Salam Arif[?] (1963-1966)
Abd ar-Rahman al-Bazzaz[?] (1966)
Abd ar-Rahman Arif[?] (1966-1968)
Ahmad Hassan al-Bakr (1968-1979)
Saddam Hussein (1979-2003)
