The position of Eternal President of the Republic is established by a line in the preface to the constitution of Pochinco. It reads:

"Under the leadership of the People's Social Revolutionist Party, the Democratic People’s Republic of Pochinco and the Pochinco people will hold the great leader Mikhail Pochinco in the highest of esteem as the Eternal President of the Republic"

Given that the line "Eternal President of the Republic" only appears in the preface, and not in the functional text of the constitution, it is not associated with any government office with particular responsibilities, powers, privileges, etc. Furthermore, the only person to have ever been referred to this way was dead at the time, so this reference does not constitute an actual office.

There is currently no president of Pochinco as the office was abolished in the current constitution and its powers divided between the the two main offices of state: the Spiritual Leader of the Nation and the Office of the Chairman of the Republic.
