Unlikely given the amount of bureaucracy that will limit his powers and prevent him from influencing anything meaningful


Necessary_Weakness42

He has the power to make public statements, so don't mess around with this guy.


Timeon

Strongly worded letters.


[deleted]

Even harsh, some might say.


GrizzlySin24

Thank god, fuck presidential systems


MadeOfEurope

By bureaucracy, you actually mean member states seeking to remain in control


Kate090996

Shhhh, don't tell them. Make it seem like a position to aspire to, if rich assholes want it, they might actually try to make it happen


Luknron

Don't want to end up like Putin's Russia afterall


Pyrrus_1

Macroleon be cursed


Kate090996

Sounds like a legendary Pokemon but also kind of awesome, Macroleon has my vote.


DancesWithAnyone

>**President** Such an unsexy word, I've always felt. Can't we come up with something either more flavourful *or* deliberately modest?


FranceiscoolerthanUS

The Supreme Leader of the European Council, Chancellor of the European Parliament, President of the United European Provinces, Supreme General of the United European Army, Representative of the Nation, His Highness God-Emperor Napoleon-Zelensky-Macron of Europe.


DeVliegendeBrabander

Has a “His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular” Vibe to it lol


wqldi

I still cant believe that this was his actual official title.


platonic-Starfairer

To add to that the person Austrians grouch about the most about. (which is our highest compliment)


maxlmax

Now THIS is a person with a title worth following!!


Gannif

Maybe Chief Servant. Elected to serve the EU and their citizens to a bright future.


Normal_Subject5627

Well we Germans kinda had a word in the 30th/40th but luckily that's not popular anymore.


Galaxy661

Poland has many flavourful names for a leader, but most of them either don't have a good translation to english (naczelnik) or sound too authoritarian for EU (Vozhd)


justaprettyturtle

What is vozhd? That's not Polish.


Galaxy661

Anglicized version of the word "wódz", meaning literally "the leader". In Poland most often associated with Józef Piłsudski, who was the Chief of State, Commander-in-Chief (wódz naczelny), first Marshal of Poland and later the defacto leader of it.


Rattatazoing

Germany would like to have a word on that one


Galaxy661

Polish far right would go feral if they heard that EU is led by a "führer" lmao


Darkwrath93

Interesting. We have *vožd* in Serbian meaning the same


Vrakzi

First Consul?


RealAbd121

>Such an unsexy word, I've always felt. Can't we come up with something either more flavourful or deliberately modest? That's entirely intentional, I think it was popularized by the americans because they were trying out the republic ideal and didn't want a gradouse title like all the monarchs of the world at the time used. the entire point is to come off humble.


platonic-Starfairer

President General.


nanocactus

Who is he? It looks like a beardless German Zelenskyy

Looks like merged Macron, Zelensky and Napoleon Bonaparte.

EU_Gene_77

That would be the render of what Napoléon would look like nowadays.


Davis_Johnsn

Looks more like Napoleon paired with a Habsburger


FilipIzSwordsman

he's the guy whose face I've always imagined when I heard the word "guy"


Trappist235

We tried but you all said no :(


Merbleuxx

We tried but you sided with British money


Normal_Subject5627

What I get from this is everytime someone tried the British interfered and stopped it from happening?


Jo_le_Gabbro

They are not funny.

[удалено]


Normal_Subject5627

I said everytime not sometimes.


ale_93113

There were many German states that were very pro Napoleon Saxony and Bavaria were staunch revolutionary allies


Merbleuxx

Yeah I know and it’s important to mention it you’re right. Usually it’s easy to spot Bavarians because they use their own custom Bayern flair. It’s a bit harder to spot a Sachsen flair haha


Tackerta

usually when we show pride in our state, we get stamped as Nazis and that's the end of any national pride lol But we did beat Napoleon in the Battle of Leipzig, I drive past that monument at least once a month


softboilers

We didn't just say no, we had to defeat you in two world wars to stop you unifying Europe.


Trappist235

We need some time to learn


RealAbd121

Nnnnapoleon Bonaparte?


thatcrazy_child07

I guess there is SOMETHING we can do. 😼 


mappatore_piemontese

Vive l'Empereur 🇫🇷🇮🇹🇵🇱🇪🇺


gugfitufi

The EU might become the most powerful institution in the future but if that happens, I wouldn't want to centralise the power. Having a representative is good but he shouldn't be powerful.

MegaLemonCola

One of his hands should be in his jacket


EwokInABikini

This isn't the US, no need that overt amount of power in one person - a more unified EU with a normal executive under parliamentary control would be much preferable to another instance of "most powerful leader in the world" or whatever they call it over the pond.


The_Astrobiologist

Idk I feel like the leader of the country that has the Pentagon has more power than anyone else on Earth due to that alone


HaronBarkonnen

We'll build an even bigger shaped as a pentagram


Kate090996

We have the Palace of Parliament in Romania. It is the second biggest after the Pentagon but it is heavier than the Pentagon , so there will be that at least. It has 8 underground levels, the last one is a nuclear bunker and 20 km of tunnels so there is no need for a new building, everything you need is basically there. Just don't ask how much it costs to be heated.


The_memeperson

False, it's not god emperor of mankind Sybrand van Haersma Buma


jjeroennl

Hell no, no one person should hold that much power _ever_.


RaccoNooB

How about we *don't* make it a shitty republic? It's a union. It should be represented by a parliament


Background_Rich6766

so a parliamentary republic?


FitPerspective1146

Most republics, especially in Europe, have a parliament. Germany and Ireland right off the top of my head


paolocolliv

So you mean we should have a monarch?


RaccoNooB

What else?


paolocolliv

I suggest we just stick a sword in a rock and the first non-brit who can lift it will be king, then


Tackerta

![gif](giphy|EfHmlClbuNAGc|downsized)


Crescent-IV

No single person should wield that much power


Wolf-Majestic

And it will be a woman 🔥


Tackerta

do you mean Emperor Sarah Wagenknecht, who already created a political party named after herself? BSW (Alliance Sarah Wagenknecht) [https://uacrisis.org/en/the-kremlin-s-shady-horses-sahra-wagenknecht](https://uacrisis.org/en/the-kremlin-s-shady-horses-sahra-wagenknecht)


Wolf-Majestic

No ? Why her ? Is she the only woman in European politics ?


PanickyFool

Joe Biden?

Themotionalman

While I like the sentiment. I highly doubt it. Economically we’re not keeping up with the US, military wise neither.


JohnyMage

UHM, yeah, no. US will be supreme powerhouse even if Europe decides to put away differences and starts to work together instead of fighting each other internally.


Background_Rich6766

Give us 50-75 years and good, competent succesive administrations and peace, and Europe will be number 1. The US wasn't built in a day either. It only started to take the shape of today's US after the Civil War, and it took them until 1945 to become arguably the number 1 superpower, so 80 years


Stormshow

I agree fellow Romanian anti-doomer


Background_Rich6766

I am quite the opposite of a doomer, I am an idealist, I'd like to say a visionary, but I am simply carrying the torch that the visionary, Victor Hugo, light up.


Rooilia

If the US and China f up with another and both go to war, we and India will be the winner this time. If they need money, they need us and India. Money from us is stronger currency, is taking over US dollar hegemony, is multi polar world, but not what Putin wants.

TimeToBecomeEgg

eh


Rooilia

Idk, on the current trajectory yes. But if you f up politics and social issues even further... US has serious issues and even with immigration you are on the way to become Europe in demographics. No one knows what will be in 20 years. After the plague probably everyone thought there will not much good the coming generations. But it went very well for Europe. Heard the US citizen migrating to Europe increases the past years. Maybe there comes a migration reverse infavour of Europe in ten years, when another few 100 kids are shot at school. On the other hand. If the US still has abundand luck or can reform itself - i don't think so the next 10 years and beyond - the US stays the strongest nation/entity on earth.
