The office is now held jointly with the Presidency of the Legislative Council (Eaghtyrane y Choonseil Slattyssagh).
At ceremonial occasions, such as the annual Tynwald Day ceremony or the proclamation of a new Lord of Mann, the President wears a full-bottomed wig and a blue damask cloak decorated with silver thread and Manx motifs.
This cloak was designed by Charles Kerruish and draws inspiration from the carpet of the Tynwald Chamber.
For other occasions, such as presiding over Tynwald during sittings for normal business, the Presidential dress code is the full-bottomed wig and a black cloak, akin to that worn by the Speaker of the House of Keys during sittings of the House.
Kerruish, Cringle and Rodan had all served as Speaker of the House of Keys before assuming the Presidency.
