ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

President of the European Commission

So, imagine you and your friends are playing a game, and you're the leader. You get to make some of the decisions about what games you're going to play, and how you're going to play them.

Now imagine that the European Union is like a big group of friends who all decided to work together to make things better for everyone. They have a leader too, and that's the President of the European Commission.

The President of the European Commission is kind of like the leader of your group of friends. They make decisions about things like how the countries in the European Union should work together, how to make sure everyone is treated fairly, and what kinds of rules and laws the countries should follow.

But, the President of the European Commission doesn't make all the decisions on their own. They have help from other important people in the European Union, like the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. Together, they work to make the European Union a better place for everyone who lives there.
