Original Note:
Ursula von der Leyen was democratically elected Commission President by the European Parliament, which approves or rejects the European Council's nominee(s), with a narrow majority of nine votes. A lack of other nominees at the time does not make this process "undemocratic". https://www.cer.eu/publications/archive/bulletin-article/2019/von-der-leyens-bumpy-road-becoming-commission-president https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/how-does-european-union-work#chapter-title-0-3
