He gets elected directly by the people, every five years, in a two-ballot election.
He is called the president (président de la république). The next election is in 2012. Usually, French people have to choose among a dozen of candidates, ranging from the communists (usually several candidates, but actually representing around 5% of the votes) to the far right: nationalist and racist parties (1 or 2 candidates, obtaining up to 20% of the votes)
