The EU does not have a single "President." Instead, the title and roles are divided among the leaders of three primary EU institutions, each with a distinct election process: [1, 2, 3, 4]

1. President of the European Commission
The Commission President, who serves a 5-year term, is the political head of the EU and acts as its executive branch. [1, 2, 3]
•Nomination: The European Council (made up of the heads of state/government of the 27 EU member states) proposes a candidate, taking into account the political makeup of the European Parliament following EU elections.
•Election: The nominee must be elected by an absolute majority (at least half of all elected Members) in the European Parliament. [1, 2, 3]

2. President of the European Council
This President, who serves a renewable 2.5-year term, represents the EU internationally and chairs the summits of national EU leaders. [1, 2, 3]
•Election: The members of the European Council elect their President by a qualified majority (55% of the member states representing at least 65% of the EU population). [1, 2]

3. President of the European Parliament
This President leads and represents the Parliament and serves a renewable 2.5-year term. [1, 2]
•Election: The Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) elect the President by a majority of the votes cast in a secret ballot. [1]

@RonWyden Thank you

@EricLDaugh Is that theft?

[Jane Stackhouse @sljpdx]

@Acyn So make sure the next election is fair and monitored by an impartial third party. That’s your job, not fomenting distrust.

@DefiantLs Dems know illegal immigrants do not vote. Even Republican research says so.

[Jane Stackhouse @sljpdx]

@MustangMan_TX Have you always been a fan of leaders who punch down or just since this administration has modeled it so well?

[Jane Stackhouse @sljpdx]

@Avabelly__ Get it to the right owner. Why is that even a question?

@TRUMP_ARMY_ Ronald Reagan closed them promising community based services. Then cut all funding for that.

@KhanSaba1278 Get it tested. Get a price for the mitigation costs.

@DefiantLs Usually means more often than not which is NOT the case here.
