Yeah, this one's gonna have to be a quickfail. I'll go ahead and leave some comments to help guide you on how to work on this.

First, just about everything's gonna need direct citations. See WP:GACR #2, which defines it as anything likely to be challenged. In practice, this turns out to be about everything but really obvious stuff, ISBN numbers, and geographic coordinates. As a result, the sections of History, Procedure, Latest Elections, and the whole of the Powers and Duties and Incumbencies sections need more citations.

Other reference stuff: The citation to firstworldwar.com looks to fall afoul of WP:SPS. Additionally, you're gonna want to include some sources not affiliated with the Austrian government. For instance, are elements of the president's role covered by major Austrian news organizations? There's nothing wrong with the governmental sites, you just need some other sources ford source balance reasons.

I'm not sure that this meets the completeness requirement at WP:GACR, either. The history seems to drop off at 1951, and I'm sure that there's been many developments in the position since then. For instance, how has the role of the president been viewed in Austrian culture over time? Have there been any changes in the influence of the president?

These are only some prelimenary stuff. And yeah, it's a little frustrating that a lot of sources are freely available online, but sometimes those sources are needed for an article. There's been a few articles I've wanted to work on but I can't access all of the sources and yeah, it's frustrating. I'm not particularly familiar with this subject, so if you want to work on it further, maybe see if another user familiar with this matter can help improve it. 16:07, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
