Thanks for the reply:

<<< The President of the United States was not elected by the people(and still isn't). >>>
Are you not nitpicking? Basically they are elected by the vox populi.

All your examples seem to suggest that leaders were chosen by an elite body of men who had
power and wanted to keep the power by elevating to highest office their chosen one.
I would still like to find one country which elected a leader before the Constitution offered this
proposal to the people of the U.S.
