Presidential Salute

A presidential salute is a song or melody in honor of the head of state of a republic . In countries that know such a salute, it is usually heard for representational purposes at public appearances by the head of state. Occasionally - as in the case of the USA - the protocol also provides for a specific salute for certain incumbents below the rank of head of state, for example for the vice-president. The presidential salute can also consist of parts of the national anthem.

In monarchies, the royal hymns correspond in many respects to the presidential salute .

Examples of presidential salutes

• Haiti : Quand nos Aïeux brisèrent leurs entraves
• Ireland : certain parts of the national anthem Amhrán na bhFiann
• United States of America : Hail to the Chief (for the President), Hail, Columbia (for the Vice President)
