Appointing Judges and disolving the parliment is quite a big deal actually.
The don't actually appoint judges and dissolve parliament. They do it on the advice of the Chancellor/Cabinet. According to Article 58 of the German constitution, the decrees, and directives of the president require the countersignature of the chancellor or the corresponding federal minister in charge of the respective field of politics. The German president theoretically has really powerful reserve powers like vetoing legislation by not signing it but in reality they are rarely used. I believe the last time this happened was in 2006 by Horst Kohler.
Hallo
let me speak on the channels russia24 fr24 dw rbk and you will not get the community imbargo.
No one knows, it's an age old mystery what the German president actually dose
He represents Germany. That's all. No power, just like the Michelin figure for the tire company.
the best analogy is that the german president is like the British Queen
meanwhile the german chancellor is like the Prime Minister
Presidents/monarchs in parliamentary republics usually do stately duties like handing out awards to people.
He is a sort of a German „Queen“. An old, anti-democratic position of power.
Some say his role is to appeal to a greater morale and be above/outside of the political system - which allows him to speak about things the politics doesn’t want to.
However his moral point is just assumed and our democracy does not specify his value.
Waving his hand and subscribing laws he hasn't read, in other words waste of tax payer money
The German president has about as much power as the queen of England.
beside the fact that the queens term is unlimited and requires no vote
No the Queen is much more powerful. She is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and has more duties than the German president. She also is above the law and doesn’t have to pay taxes. She could dissolve parliament at any moment and she could refuse to enforce laws.
Of course she chooses not to exercise those powers and has the PM do everything in her name. But theoretically those powers are there.
Queen of the United Kingdom*
True the german president is more powerfull than the chancellor
Except everyone knows who the queen is
Great video, I've always wondered what the German president actually did.
Quick reminder.
Paul von Hindenburg was a conservative and a traditionalist who hated liberals, social democrats, and most of all, socialists.
That's why he appointed an Austrian
And one of the Dictators during the defacto Military-junta during the German Empire in ww1, since the Kaiser didnt had any real power anymore, the OHL was litteraly dictating under the kaisers name, and hindenburg was part of it
@@HugostarGames They even thought that the emperor (Kaiser) had become too left-leaning. They despised that he catered to liberals.
Regardless of the fact that liberalism is a centrist ideology, with social democracy being left leaning, and conservatism being the right leaning counterpart.

I love Germany!
Me too
*and what does he do
Oh
Gooden morgen
So why not just Restore the monarchy because his role is pretty much the same as that of the Kaiser.
They can just elect the heads of any german royal house for president to keep it simple
I thought the prime minister was the higher office
Pls send more Helmets!!
German president? I thought was German Chancellor that held the highest office of Germany.
fun fact: the second highst rank is ALSO NOT the chancellor, but the president of the bundestag
Wikipedia:
In the German order of precedence, the office is ranked second after the president and before the chancellor.
German chancellor is the strongest political office in the country but ceremonially he is lower than the president because president is the head of state while chancellor is head of government .
Head of state is considered to be higher than head of government even if the latter has more political power than the former . In a similar way British Queen is considered higher than the British pm and the Indian President is considered higher than the Indian PM.
So the German President has the Same duties as the Monarchs?
In the US you have to be older than 35. It doesn't really ever come up
I want one
So confusing
Ich liebe dich Deutschland
i hope that at least a few of germany's leaders are still satisfied by the tongue of their comrades...
My thoughts and prayers are with the Special Olympics Deutschland athletes as they mourn the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II while recovering from changes to routines owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
So it is a non hereditary monarch with a fixed term? Sort of sounds like how the governor general works in Canada acting on behalf of our foreign sovereign.
@@President333 Thank you.
That hand gesture is a little too reminiscent of...
Nah. Can't be.
Never knew Germany had a president lol
I'm not surprised. Even in Germany, the president is rarely reported on.
It's called Federal President, not President.
That's nitpicking .
We don't say federal Republic of Germany all the time. It's simplification and used in non official conversation
It's not who votes that makes the difference, but who counts them.

Dear German neighbors. (wiki) "In June 2016, Steinmeier criticised NATO 'warmongering' on Russia: "The one thing we shouldn't do now is inflame the situation with loud sabre-rattling and warmongering." The CDU politicians Volker Bouffier and Herbert Reul criticised him for his stance on Russia,[6] but his comments were welcomed by the Russian media". Can we call it short-sightend or friendship with Mr Schroder?
It's a call for diplomacy, can't find Schroeder in there...
I'm honestly not a big fan of Steinmeier, but in this case.... Well spoken Mr.President
I have never understood why a country would have a president and a prime minister, In the U.S. it's so simple, you have a president and a vice president.
It divides power. For example, pardons can be a good tool to strengthen the trust in the judicative, if used wisely. Because the president has only ceremonial power, he has less incentive to pardon people for his own good.
@@Zualio I did not know that thanks
The president in Germany is envisioned as a handbrake - although all the laws are passed by the Bundestag, the president has the power to veto (and has done so in the past) laws which he considers to be unconstitutional. He may also refer the matter to the Constitutional Court. So actually in times of crisis this role is a little bit more than just ceremonial!
@@KC-dw6yz Oh I did not know that thanks
It's just different, man. It doesn't need to be like it is in the US.

He has been able to secure a steady inflow of returns off my Bitcoin, it's just great especially with this whole pandemic situation it's just amazing to find Mr Logan Willie and there's been no regrets ever since.
After a successful payout and compounding interest from generating Hyrule on my trade which took MI 5 months to hit a million on my trading.
Woooo that man his good work has been everywhere. Been seeing a lot of good comments about him on several places. I feel more confident investing with him, I've been on the train for over two weeks now... best Broker for life
Amazing, I also just started trading with Logan Willie, his is the best at what... with an initial investment of $1500 I made up to $5830 in just a few weeks of trading with him strategies are mind blowing
So Germany’s president is just a mascot
Nobody becomes a millionaire or billionaire by working for others and depending on them, good Investment breed millions of dollars and consistency breed billions

How is discriminating against people who are less than 40 years old considered a fair election??
Because you need someone with experience and gravitas.
@@mrbaker7443 The experience you speak of is the same none changing a typical BS that stifles real change.
@Mr Baker But if the majority of the population support a 39 year old, shouldn't we be free to make that choice?

Amazing, am totally surprised because i also just started trading with Mr Aman Natt, With an initial investment of $2,400 i made up to $6,900 in just a week of trading with him, his strategies are mind blowing
I’m from Scotland, UK and I was recommended to him on RUclips, he has been a great broker and I have been making $8,030 every week.
I invested $9,500 and I make $26,470 weekly trading with him, I only trust Mr Aman Natt with my investments. I am now able to send my kids to great schools in LA, all thanks to Mr Aman Natt
Ceremonial presidents are the dumbest thing ever. At least ceremonial monarchs are kinda famous. It should either be abolished and combined with the head of government or replaced with ceremonial monarch that actually makes sense to be ceremonial. Or just make the office for life like some elective monarchy.
You mean bring back a Kaiser? You don't know much about history do you....and don't mention the War!
@@robharris8844U No, I didn't say that. First of all, I didn't mention Germany specifically,but parliamentary republics in general. Second of all, Germany had many small and big monarchies before the end of world war I, and then there are monarchs form other parts of Europe. The German king could really be the current claimant to the former Grand Dutchy of Mecklenburg or the Prince of Liechtenstein for all I care. Also I mentioned two equally great options: Abolishment of the useless ceremonial office and having the PM or Chancellor be the ceremonial head of state as well (the position has no power so it doesn't matter) or make the useless president for life so at least they can be a symbol. In conclusion: I'm saying having a ceremonial president who only remains in office for some years makes no sense to me.
@@Ali-bu6lo Well it maybe it is a copy of Constitutional monarchy. In the UK for instance it means you have a head of State higher than the elected PM, which I like, because it means the PM never has overall power and is like a safety sobering for pumped up politicians ever being the figurehead. Many republics become dictatorial because they do not have this safety valve. It also means the Monarchy figurehead is never absolute either as the people can align themselves with either figurehead in time of division. So the President and Chancellor idea is similar - a safety valve.
Having ceremonial presidents has its own advantages .
It gives more time to the pm or the chancellor for taking political decisions as all the ceremonial ceremonies like recieving ambassadors , representing the nation at ceremonial functions of other countries like coronation of a monarch etc are done by the president or the monarch .
@@Shkk Well then why not have that ceremonial president be in office for life so he can represent his country more properly?
German is super gay
Russia is super straight
That's a copycat of Indian president.
