The President is a giant sequoia located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in the United States, east of Visalia, California. It is not the tallest giant sequoia tree in the world with a height of about 247 feet , nor the widest at about 27 feet in diameter at the base, but it is the second-largest tree in the world, measured by volume of trunk, and the oldest-known living sequoia, about 3,200 years old. As of 2012, the volume of its trunk measured at about 45,000 cubic feet , with an additional 9,000 cubic feet of branches.
The tree was named after President Warren G. Harding in 1923. Nearby trees include Chief Sequoyah, the 27th-largest giant sequoia in the world, and the Congress Group, two dense stands of medium-sized sequoias that represent the "House" and "Senate".
