OBS

Bien que l'usage français préconise la minuscule pour les titres de poste, la majuscule à Président et à Présidente est obligatoire dans les documents concernant les délibérations de la Chambre des communes et du Sénat, car elle permet de faire la distinction entre le Président de chacune de ces chambres et les présidents des comités.
