The word Presidency is often used to describe the collective administrative and governmental entity that exists around an office of president of a state or nation.
For example, in a republic with a presidential system of government, the presidency represents the executive branch of government, and is personified by a single elected man or woman who holds the office of "president". In practice, it includes a much larger collective of people, such as chiefs of staff, advisors and other bureaucrats.
The term is also sometimes used to describe the time period in office held by an individual president. For example, the presidency of Richard Nixon overlapped many important developments.
