Germany Elects New President

BERLIN - MAY 23: German Chancellor Angela Merkel smiles at the Bundestag (lower house of Parliament) during the opening of a special assembly of lawmakers and public figures to vote Germany's new president on May 23, 2009 in Berlin, Germany. German President Horst Koehler is seeking a second five-year term in an unusually tight contest that carries important symbolic value before national elections in September. The vote comes four months before Chancellor Angela Merkel and Social Democrat Frank-Walter Steinmeier, her foreign minister, face off in a national election in which both hope to end their tense "grand coalition" of Germany's biggest parties.
