Ursula von der Leyen takes the floor in Parliament’s plenary session and outline her vision and plans as Commission President, followed by a debate with MEPs. The vote by secret ballot follows the debate. Background Article 14 of the Treaty of the European Union provides that the EP “shall elect the President of the Commission.” In practice, based on Parliament’s Rules of Procedure, the candidate proposed by the European Council has to present their political guidelines to Parliament, followed by a debate. Parliament then elects the President of the Commission by a majority of its component MEPs - i.e. 361, in a Parliament of 720 Members.
