List of heads of state of Mexico facts for kids

The Head of State of Mexico is the main leader of the country. Today, this leader is called the President of the United Mexican States. The President is in charge of the country's executive power, which means they lead the government and make sure laws are carried out. Mexico has had different types of governments throughout its history. Sometimes it was a republic with a president, and other times it was a monarchy with an emperor.

Mexico's history, especially in the 1800s and early 1900s, was often unstable. Many presidents during this time didn't finish their full terms. Before Lázaro Cárdenas became president, most leaders stayed in office for about fifteen months on average. This list also includes leaders who took power during civil wars and groups that temporarily led Mexico during changes in government.

First Mexican Empire: Emperors and Regents (1821–1823)
