President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America

The President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America is the leader of the wizarding world in the United States and the highest ranking member of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, which they preside over.

Early years
The Magical Congress of the United States of America, (and thus the Presidency) was formed in 1693, as a direct result of the Salem Witch Trials and the menace of the Scourers, almost a century before the Muggle/No-Maj Continental Congress declared America independent from the United Kingdom in July 1776.

Present time
The current President of MACUSA and thus leader of American wizarding society is President Samuel G. Quahog.

Following the kidnapping of Hans the Augurey by American fans celebrating the American team's success in the quarter-finals of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup against Liechtenstein, several terse letters were exchanged between President Quahog and Otto Obermeier, Minister for Magic of Liechtenstein. Luckily, Hans was returned the following day, 9 June 2014, and the relationship between the two countries seemed not to have been too damaged.
