Note
The -s form used after he, she, it or a singular noun. It carries every meaning of preside: chairing a meeting, holding authority, or taking the featured solo part in a performance. All three are intransitive, so no direct object follows. A judge presides, or presides over a court, but never presides a court. With a plural subject the bare form returns: the judges preside.
