Although we've made some good points--all of us--I think we should go back to the original topic of discussion before we continue veering off-course; About which ship is best suited for the President of the UFP and why.
The USS Sovreign Class, is th most advanced starship, at present in the UFP fleet,
thus they should use that one as the UFP Presidents starship.
Take care,

Oh? Apparently he hadn't really read much of what went on. No offense Don, but you're wrong. As of 2374 (or 2375?), it was outdated by the newer Prometheus-class, a top-secret Starfleet warship. If we follow your logic, this vessel would be the choice, not the Sovereign-class. But why use a top-secret warship that everyone wants their hands on if found out? Heck, the
Tal'Shiar even tried getting their hands on it! It seems to me that the most-advanced starship is more like a target that non-allied goverments would like to try to hit. Since the Galaxy-class is no-longer the most-advanced, and is suited for diplomatic and deep-space exploration, I feel it should be used by the President of the UFP, as the Galaxy-class is the current TNG ship most-symbolic for the Federation; Explorative and diplomatic.
Going with the logic of the most-advanced starship
will bring you to a warship that some people would
love to get their hands on. I don't view the Federation as Star Trek's Imperial Empire (analogy to SW) as most starships seem to be like nowadays. But all of this is just my repeated two cents on the issue.
