Agree

No

The CSU has traditionally supported the current system of electing the President in Germany, which is through the Federal Convention and not directly by the people. This system allows for a balance of power and ensures that the President is elected by representatives of the people and the states, which aligns with the CSU's federalist principles.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, the role of President is redundant and should be removed

The CSU would strongly disagree with the idea of removing the role of President. The party believes in the importance of the role of the President as a figurehead and representative of the country, and as a check and balance on the power of the government. Removing the role would be contrary to the party's principles of constitutionalism and rule of law.
