✓ Correct Answer
She/he proposes the Chancellor for election.
The correct answer is: “He/she proposes the Chancellor for election.” The Federal President is the head of state of the Federal Republic of Germany and is elected by the Federal Assembly for five years. He represents the state internally and externally, but is above the day-to-day business of politics. This question is part of the official naturalization test “Living in Germany” from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and is a prerequisite for German citizenship.
