President or president??

0 Hi! Just wondering if anyone could tell me whether I should put "P"(upper case) or "p"(lower case) for a head of the state. The sentence goes like this: 02br
02br
00"During the Christmas season, President [or the president?] makes a point of greeting returning migrants on a red carpet at the airport." 02br
02br
00In this sentence, I want to mean "every successive head of the state" in this country. In my grammar class, I learned that "president" is used for companies and "President" for the state. But recently I have seen mixed usage, and am a bit confused. 02br
02br
00Would very much appreciate anyone's response. Thank you so much in advance!!! 02br
