Gesetz zur Änderung des Grundgesetzes (Artikel 54 - Einführung der Direktwahl des Bundespräsidenten)

This legislative procedure proposes an amendment to Article 54 of the German Basic Law to introduce the direct election of the Federal President. Currently, the President is elected by a Federal Convention; this change aims to give citizens a direct vote in selecting the head of state. This change would primarily affect the electoral process for the presidency and the democratic mandate of the Federal President, shifting the power of selection from representatives to the general public.
