XXX for president.

What is the meaning of the phrase "for president" ? How do we use it ?

[Mister Micawber]

.
It means 'to become' or 'for the goal/purpose of becoming'. It is used in election slogans:

Obama for President!
I voted for Obama for President.

is it only used in context of real elections??

Is it used informally meaning .. "I praise him/her".. ?

[Mister Micawber]

.
Real elections, generally, though I suppose you could use it jocularly: Wanda helped me pass my English test-- Wanda for Queen!
