Presidential Resignation Day

In Gallifreyan politics, Presidential Resignation Day was the day on which the incumbent Lord President resigned and another Lord President was chosen. The alternative to a presidential resignation was an election. The outgoing Lord President usually named their successor, who was often Chancellor to the leaving Lord President. They would also read a resignation honours list.

On one occasion, with the intervention of the Decayed Master and the assistance of Chancellor Goth, the current Lord President was assassinated before naming his successor (who turned out to be current Prydonian Lord Cardinal Borusa). (TV: The Deadly Assassin)

The Presidents are categorised by in-universe chronological order. Loose chronological order applies for the lists, but when in doubt (as with the temporal uncertainty of the Time Wars), list them in the order in which they were first depicted as Presidents in the real world.
