Generally, the CEO. The President of the Corporation helps to choose the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors decides who the officers are. The officers control the day to day operations of the company so you can see that the CEO probably has more real power because the President is too far removed.

Hey, CEOs work on the company's long-term strategies and strategic partnerships, while presidents deal with day-to-day operations and bottom-line performance. The CEO handles overall strategy while the president's responsibilities are more managerial.
Presidents answer to CEOs. According to Investopedia.com, presidents often hold the title of Chief Operating Officer, or COO. The COO is responsible for executing the policy of the CEO and board of directors. So, in short, it's a "vision thing" versus a "nuts and bolts thing."
But how does the chairman of the board fit into the power structure? When Bill Gates handed over his CEO title to Steve Balmer, he stuck around as Microsoft's chairman. Slate explains that the chairman is in charge of setting the agenda of the board of directors, which can hire and fire CEOs and must approve CEO-sponsored strategies.
So, technically the chairman of the board is the big kahuna, but he or she needs the support of the board to really drop the hammer. Then again, it all depends on the company -- we doubt anybody was giving orders to Henry Ford.

Depends on the company's structure. Usually the CEO has more power and appoints the president, but sometimes the president and CEO are the same person, or both are appointed by the Chairman of the Board.

That would be the President. The CEO is the Chief Executive Officer. There will be others. CIO (Chief Information Officer), CFO (Chief Financial Officer), and others.
So, the CFO, CIO, and CEO are in charge of their own "divisions" of the company while the President is in charge of the overall operations of the company.

It depends on the corporate charter of the company and it will vary from company to company.
I worked at a publishing company where a managing editor worked for an editor. Yet, at other companies, the editor works for the managing editor. It all depends on how the company is structured.
