By Revelation...
DC 120:2-3
120:2a A branch may be presided over by a high priest, an elder, priest, teacher, or
deacon, chosen and sustained by the vote of the branch. Districts may be presided over by
a high priest, or an elder, who shall be received and sustained in his office by the vote
of the district.
If a branch, or district be large, he who is chosen to preside should be an high priest,
if there be one possessed of the spirit of wisdom to administer in the office of
president;
or if an elder be chosen who may by experience be found qualified to preside, as soon as
practicable thereafter he should be ordained an high priest by the spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the one ordaining, and by direction of a high council, or General
Conference, as required in the law.
