Note - it is technically incorrect to call Ursula von der Leyen the “EU President” because no single person holds that title.

Power is split across different EU institutions, each with its own president.

She is the President of the EU Commission i.e. the chief bureaucrat to execute what the EU Council and EU parliament tell her to execute. The EU Council proposes new laws, manages the EU budget, and ensures member states follow EU rules

You also have:
- President of the European Council (António Costa), which guides the political direction of the bloc. His job is to get together national prime ministers and presidents to set the long-term political direction of the bloc
- President of the European Parliament (Roberta Metsola). Chairing the legislate branch that refines and approves/rejects laws.

So, it’s really a ‘Triumvirate’ like in Old Rome. Some things never change............
