That phrasing is interesting. Do you consider the heads of governments of parliamentary republics elected or appointed?
- js2 6y agoI should have written that originally they were elected by state legislatures. Appointed is the wrong word. The important point though is that voters now choose their senators directly. That's a trend toward greater democracy.
