He was elected by the Council of State on April 16, 1845, as President of Haïti he was intended to be a figurehead for the mulatto ruling class. A failure in that role and with his unpopular campaign against the Dominicans, who he considered as insurgents, he relinquished his office on March 1, 1846, and was replaced by General Jean-Baptiste Riché and his Boyerist backers, after attempting reforms in the government.

Il a été élu comme président par le Conseil d’État le 16 avril 1845. Durant ses fonctions, il cherchait à être figure de proue pour la classe dirigeante mulâtre. Un échec dans ce rôle et dans sa campagne impopulaire contre les Dominicains, qu’il considérait comme des insurgés, il abandonna ses fonctions le 1er mars 1846 et fut remplacé par le général Jean-Baptiste Riché supporté ses partisans boyeristes, après avoir tenté de réformer le gouvernement. –
Li te eli pa Konsèy Leta yon 16 avril 1845, kòm Prezidan Ayiti, li te sipoze yon figi pou klas dirijan milat yo. Yon echèk nan wòl sa ak kanpay popilè l ‘kont dominiken yo, ke li te konsidere kòm ensije, li te kite pouvwa a 1 mas 1846 e li se Jeneral Jean-Baptiste Riché ki te ranplase li ak sipò Boyeris yo, apre yo te fin eseye refòme gouvènman an.

Pierrot became president at the age of 84. He refused to live in Port-au-Prince ( Port-aux-Crimes) and designated Cap-Haitien the capital of Haiti. They referred to Port-au-Prince as “Port of Crimes”, which was the capital of Haiti, because of the assassination of Haiti’s emperor Jacques I aka Jean Jacques Dessalines, the leader of the Haitian Revolution. President Pierrot was obsessed with the idea of punishing the Dominicans for having declared their independence on February, 1844. A short war broke out between the two neighbors without a clear victor.

Before being the 5th president of Haiti, Jean-Louis Michel Pierrot, fought under the command of Henri Christophe who crowned himself president for life of the State of Haiti (1807-1811), then had himself crowned King Henry I by the archbishop of Milot, and ruled the Kingdom of Haiti (1811-1820). Jean-Louis Michel Pierrot led a black battalion at the Battle of Vertières in 1803.Hence, he was instrumental in the last decisive Battle of the Haitian Revolution. Historians are unsure about his birth day, but he was born into slavery in 1761 in Acul-du-Nord, and was illiterate. When Christophe created a nobility in the North, he made Pierrot a prince.
