¹Often called spiritual leaders, but the term rahbar that appears in the constitution simply means "leader."

²The rulers of this dynasty refused (with one exception as noted) the style Shahanshah. The founding ruler adopted the style Wakil ar-Ra`aya (roughly, "Protector of the People"); it appears that his successors used the same style, although documentation is obscure.

³Bakhtiar initially did not recognize Khomeini's appointment of Bazargan as prime minister and resigned only on 11 Feb 1979.

¹The English-language constitution of Dáil Éireann of 25 Aug 1921 uses the wording "President who shall also be Prime Minister." At the election on 26 Aug 1921 it is asserted in Dáil (in English) that the proper style is "President of the Irish Republic." At the election on 10 Jan 1922 this is deprecated, and it is asserted, without formal contradiction, that the style is Uachtarán ar an nDáil Éireann ("President of Dáil Éireann"); the matter is left unresolved, the incumbents thereafter using the latter style.

²Ua Buachalla indicated a preference for not being called governor-general, instead insisting to be styled Seneschal (a back-translation from his official Irish-language style Seneascal).

³The Dáil, in accepting the abdication of Edward VIII on 12 Dec 1936, did not proclaim the succession of George VI, but merely provided for the use of the U.K. crown for purposes of foreign representation, while leaving a hiatus in the transition to the new constitutional arrangements. There was no explicit provision for an interim head of state until the new constitution was to take effect on 29 Dec 1937. The domestic functions of the sovereign were exercised in part by the chairman of Dáil Éireann (Frank Fahy) and in part by the president of the Executive Council (Eamon de Valera).
