  • As a German I would say test that they actually keep up with all their duties. I feel like for many years ours do a terrible job, but at least they don’t try to overthrow the government or anything. So… test that they know and are willing to perform their duties:

    The president’s most prominent powers and duties include:

    • Proposing the chancellor to the Bundestag
    • Appointing and dismissing the chancellor and their cabinet ministers
    • Dissolving the Bundestag under certain circumstances
    • Declaring the legislative state of emergency under certain circumstances
    • Convening the Bundestag
    • Signing and promulgating laws or vetoing them under certain circumstances
    • Appointing and dismissing federal judges, federal civil servants, and commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the Armed Forces
    • Exercising the power to pardon individual offenders on behalf of the Federation
    • Awarding honors on behalf of the Federation
    • Representing Germany at home and abroad

    Currently, German presidency is a deportation track for political pensioners.



  • I hated languages in school because besides grammar and word mistakes, grading always felt arbitrary. However, that teacher recognized that I struggled, gave me a generalized template and said “If you do it like that, you get a good grade”. I did it like that and got a good grade (we have 1 (perfect) - 6 (trash) and I improved from 4- to 2+ which is quite a big leap). So yea, that was the first time that I perceived that subject and a teacher of that subject as something real and not bs.
