Comment Comment by ProxCoques I think this may be a misunderstanding of the word "president". The role you're talking about is more like that of the Speaker of the House in the US or the UK. Both are elected by members of the chamber, not a popular vote.https://the-president.europarl.europa.eu/en/the-presidency/f...There is no "President" of the EU in the US sense of the word.BTW parliaments were not democratically elected historically, that's true (eg women didn't get the vote until recently) but not relevant today. parent ProxCoques 2 years ago
