The Office of the President (Chinese: 總統府; pinyin: Zǒngtǒngfǔ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chóng-thóng-hú) is an organ of the Republic of China (Taiwan) that handles the general administrative affairs of the President and the Vice President. The office, together with the National Security Council, serve as the two advisory agencies to the President.^[1]

The Office of the President is led by a Secretary-General and oversees

• Academia Sinica (Chinese: 中央硏究院; pinyin: Zhōngyāng Yánjiùyuàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiong-iong Gián-kiù-īⁿ) and
• Academia Historica (Chinese: 國史館; pinyin: Guóshǐguǎn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kok-sú-koán).

History

The Office of the President was established according to the Constitution of the Republic of China on May 20, 1948 in the Presidential Palace in Nanjing, with the inauguration of the first President Chiang Kai-shek and the first Vice President Li Zongren.

However, with the outbreak of Chinese Civil War, the government of the Republic of China retreated to Taiwan in December 1949. On March 1, 1950, Chiang Kai-shek resumed his presidency in the former office of the Japanese Government-General of Taiwan in Taipei. The building is used as the Presidential Office Building since then.
