Electoral College.
INdirectly by the voters; directly by the Electoral College.
The United States is the only example of a country in the world which uses an electoral college to indirectly elect the executive, so every other democracy is one without an electoral college.

Electoral College (yes I know its same answer as "who elects president?" but it WAS a different question)
The President and Vice President of the United States are elected indirectly through the Electoral College. The voters in each state vote for a group of appointed electors who then cast their votes for the candidates based on the popular vote in their respective states.
The electoral college serves only one purpose and that is to elect the president and vice president every four years. The president is, of course, the head of the executive branch of the US government.
The electoral college was created indirectly. The U.S. electoral system was created by the United States Constitution which was ratified in 1788. The Twelfth Amendment (Amendment XII) to the United States Constitution provides the current procedure for electing the President and Vice President. The amendment was proposed by the Congress on December 9, 1803, and was ratified by the requisite three-fourths of state legislatures on June 15, 1804.
The Electoral College is a group of citizens who are elected and act as representatives of the states in the USA, put into place to vote for, and elect the President and Vice President. It was created in 1787. Some people wanted a representative democracy, and some people wanted a direct democracy. With the Electoral College System, it was a compromise between the two. With the Electoral College System, the people could indirectly elect the President.
