Ok, I'll say you had a point, but it's not like they have "many" presidents, no. Many chairmen, definitely. Presidents. no.

There are two Presidents, and one Presidency (a nation). The President of the European Commission has the most powers. (It's the most high-powered personal office in the EU, and so this is the post that best could be described as the President of the EU, if one uses that term - and many international media do, but many do it in error.)

The President of the European Council is mentioned the most as the President of Europe/the EU, but that is misleading.

This guy is considered more or less the President, but I'm not sure which position Arnie was debating. (Barroso's position or Herman von Pompuroy's position.. )

President of the European Commission (ec.europa.eu)

Responses:

president of the commistion is the most powerfull yes but that is not the same as president of the EU - Danedukenuuk May 8, 19:25 2
- I must update myself. Since November , 2009, the EU elected, per their Lisbon treaty, its first official President, and a foreign secretary. - Facto May 8, 19:30 1
  - And here are official documents from the EU itself - Facto May 8, 19:51
Hmm, there may be some other presidents as well, but not that matter.. - Facto May 8, 19:24 1
- it used to be "chaiman of the commistion" and it was a round robin turnament system - Danedukenuuk May 8, 19:27
