Corporations are required by law to have Presidents and Chairmen. That is the legal construct.

They are not required to have CEOs who therefore sit on shakier legal ground.

Varies by jurisdiction. Common ones are a president, secretary and treasurer. (They can be the same person.)

when companies are big enough (to where CEO actually has meaning), shareholder rights kick in, and there are many additional legal requirements; none of those require a CEO
