Definition: Presiding or watching over.

3. presidential (adj) — sense 3

Definition: With the bearing or composure that befits a president; stately, dignified.

Example: I feel my age and supposed status mean I am permanently required to be in presidential mode. And I mean this in the old sense of “presidential”, meaning magnanimous, patient and generous, rather than in the modern sense of presidential, meaning being a corrupt, pussy-grabbing racist.
