Why is it masculine?

Presidentes is masculine because it derives from the Latin "praesidens" (one who sits before/presides), which used the masculine nominative form; Spanish inherited this grammatical gender through its evolution from Latin. Notably, this creates an asymmetry in modern Spanish where the word remains masculine even when referring to women leaders, though "presidenta" has gained acceptance in some regions as an alternative feminine form.
