[M]Belgium[/M] is one of the founding members of the European Union and [M]is the seat of[/M] EU headquarters, as well as several other major international organizations such as [M]NATO[/M].

Belgium (Dutch: België [ˈbɛl.ɣi.jə] (listen ); French: Belgique [bɛlʒik] (listen ); German: Belgien [ˈbɛlɡiən] (listen )), officially Kingdom of Belgium (Dutch: Koninkrijk België , in French: Royaume de Belgique, in German: Königreich Belgien), is a country located in Western Europe. It is one of the founding members of the European Union (EU), including hosting the headquarters as well as those of other major international organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Belgium has an area of 30 528 square kilometers and a population of around 10.7 million inhabitants.
Occupying the cultural border between Germanic Europe and Latin Europe, Belgium is basically made up of two linguistic groups: the Flemish, who speak Dutch, and the Walloons, who speak French, in addition to a small group of people who speak the German language. . The two largest regions in Belgium are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north, with 59% of the population, and the French-speaking region of Wallonia in the south, inhabited by 31% of Belgians. The officially bilingual Brussels Region is a French-speaking enclave in the Flemish Region and has 10% of the population. A small German-speaking community exists in eastern Wallonia. Belgium's linguistic diversity and political and cultural conflicts are reflected in the country's political history and complex system of government.
The name "Belgium" is derived from Belgian Gaul, a Roman province in the northern part of Gaul that was inhabited by the Belgians, a mixture of Celtic and Germanic peoples. Historically, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg were known as the Netherlands, a name used to designate an area slightly larger than the current group of countries called Benelux.

Belgium (Dutch: België [ˈbɛl.ɣi.jə] (listen ); French: Belgique [bɛlʒik] (listen ); German: Belgien [ˈbɛlɡiən] (listen )), officially Kingdom of Belgium (Dutch: Koninkrijk België , in French: Royaume de Belgique, in German: Königreich Belgien), is a country located in Western Europe. It is one of the founding members of the European Union (EU), including hosting the headquarters as well as those of other major international organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Belgium has an area of 30 528 square kilometers and a population of around 10.7 million inhabitants.
Occupying the cultural border between Germanic Europe and Latin Europe, Belgium is basically made up of two linguistic groups: the Flemish, who speak Dutch, and the Walloons, who speak French, in addition to a small group of people who speak the German language. . The two largest regions in Belgium are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north, with 59% of the population, and the French-speaking region of Wallonia in the south, inhabited by 31% of Belgians. The officially bilingual Brussels Region is a French-speaking enclave in the Flemish Region and has 10% of the population. A small German-speaking community exists in eastern Wallonia. Belgium's linguistic diversity and political and cultural conflicts are reflected in the country's political history and complex system of government.
The name "Belgium" is derived from Belgian Gaul, a Roman province in the northern part of Gaul that was inhabited by the Belgians, a mixture of Celtic and Germanic peoples. Historically, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg were known as the Netherlands, a name used to designate an area slightly larger than the current group of countries called Benelux.

Belgium, formally the Kingdom of Belgium (Dutch: Koninkrijk België, French: Royaume de Belgique, German: Königreich Belgien), is a constitutional monarchy in Western Europe. Belgium borders France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Belgium is one of the founding members of the European Union and is the seat of EU headquarters, as well as several other major international organizations such as NATO. Belgium's area amounts to 30,528 km² and the population to just over 11 million inhabitants (2019). The country is located on the border between Germanic and Latin Europe and is home to mainly two language groups, the Dutch-speaking (mostly Flemish) and the French-speaking (mainly Walloons), plus a small group of German-speakers. Belgium's two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia. The Brussels-Capital Region, officially bilingual, is a mostly French-speaking enclave within the Flemish region.

Succession to the President of the United States is governed by the Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. The constitution stipulates that if the President resigns from office for any reason, the Vice-President will succeed him. If this office is vacant, the Presidential Succession Act lays down a sequence for appointing an acting president:
the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
the President pro tempore of the Senate
and then the members of the Cabinet in an order established by law.
The addition of the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution in 1967 codified the practice since 1841 that the Vice President himself becomes president and not only acts on a provisional basis if the President dies or resigns. Furthermore, this addition enables a vice-president to be nominated, so that since then it has become significantly less likely that the list of substitute successors for the president will be used. In the history of the United States, there has never been a single case where both presidential and vice-presidential offices were vacant. Therefore, the vice-presidents always took up positions as presidents.
Since, unlike in parliamentary systems of government, the president in the American political system is elected by the people (by a college of electors) and an early election is not provided, a precise regulation is required on how to deal with the loss of the president: a simple by-election, for example through parliament is not possible. On the other hand, an uninterrupted replacement successor is absolutely necessary, since the President is head of state, head of government and commander-in-chief of the armed forces at the same time.
