Answer

How about Presidents Assistant? President with an "s" in the end.

Answer

It is likely that Aisha is correct, although to be picky, it would be "President's assistant" with an apostrophe. This would mean a worker who assists the president - perhaps a receptionist or secretary.  "Assistant to the President" would have the same meaning. "Assistant President" has a different meaning. It would be a title, like Deputy President, implying someone who is an office bearer, immediately junior to the President.
