Jürgen Wilhelm Möllemann ( 15 July 1945 – 5 June 2003 ) was a German politician of the Free Democratic Party.

Möllemann was initially a member of the CDU from 1962 to 1969, but later on became a member of the liberal FDP in 1970.

In the 2002 national election, he produced a flyer criticizing Ariel Sharon's actions against Palestinians and Michel Friedman's endorsement of those actions ; the flyer was regarded as " antisemitic " by some, and the debate surrounding these events led to Möllemann leaving the FDP in March 2003 and resigning his position as NRW party leader ; however, he kept his seat in the Bundestag without party affiliation, despite promises to resign from it.

While outside interference was ruled out, no definite verdict was reached on whether Möllemann committed suicide or had an accident.

Möllemann was president of the Deutsch-Arabische Gesellschaft ( German-Arabic Society ) from 1981 to 1991 and from 1993 to 2003, until his death.

The North Rhine-Westphalian FDP's chairman, Jürgen Möllemann, also was implicated.

In this office he was involved in the investigation of the " Flyer-Affair " connected with Jürgen Möllemann.

Westerwelle, the youngest party chairman at the time, emphasized economics and education, and espoused a strategy initiated by his deputy Jürgen Möllemann, who, as chairman of the North Rhine-Westphalia branch of party, had led his party back into the state parliament, gaining 9. 8 % of the vote.

Shortly before his death, Möllemann had been confronted with allegations he had been involved in illegal arms deals and evaded taxes on millions of euros he allegedly earned from those activities.

In 2002 she left the Free Democratic Party after a controversy with Jürgen Möllemann about his antisemitic election campaign.

Möllemann, a passionate and experienced skydiver, died on 5 June 2003 in a parachuting incident at Marl-Loemühle.

For lawyers, reflecting perhaps their parochial preferences, there has been a special fascination since then in the role played by the Supreme Court in that transformation -- the manner in which its decisions altered in `` the switch in time that saved nine '', President Roosevelt's ill-starred but in effect victorious `` Court-packing plan '', the imprimatur of judicial approval that was finally placed upon social legislation.

Retiring to his beloved Mount Vernon, he returned to preside over the Federal Convention, and was the only man in history to be unanimously elected President.

'' The other important difference between the two Constitutions was that the President of the Confederacy held office for six ( instead of four ) years, and was limited to one term.

Ironically no president we have had would have regretted more than President Eisenhower the possibility to which his own words, in the press conference held at the beginning of August, testified: that unable as he was himself to say his running was best for the country, unconsciously he had placed his party before his nation.

A little boy came to give the President his personal condolences, and the President gave word that any little boy who wanted to see him was to be shown in.

The President was even more generous with the First Lady than he had been before the tragedy.

Now and then, the President would call for `` Little Jack, Master of the Hounds '', which was his nickname for a messenger who had worked in the White House since Teddy Roosevelt's administration, and discuss the welfare of some one of the animals.

Rob Roy was self-appointed to accompany the President to his office every morning.

Rob Roy was well aware of the importance of this mission, and he would walk in front of the President, looking neither to the right nor to the left.

It was her job to stand at the foot of the stairs, and, just as the First Lady stepped off the last tread, Mama would straighten out her long train before she marched to the Blue Room to greet her guests with the President.

In the judgment of Chief of Staff Scott it was ironic that the draft policy of a Democratic President, aimed at Germany, had to be pushed through the House of Representatives by the ranking minority member of the Military Affairs Committee -- a Republican Jew born in Germany!!

When Fosdick showed the letter to Baker his negative response was: `` For God's sake, Raymond, don't show this to the President or he'll stop the war ''.

This statement recalls the 1959 Berlin crisis, when President Eisenhower first told reporters that Berlin could not be defended with conventional weapons and then added that a nuclear defense was out of the picture too.

President Kennedy's latest warning to the Communist world that the United States will build up its military strength to meet any challenge in Berlin or elsewhere was, somewhat surprisingly, reported in full text or fairly accurate excerpts behind the Iron Curtain.

`` President Kennedy's enlargement of the American military program was welcomed on Wall Street as a stimulus to the American munitions industry.

President Kennedy was right when he said, `` We shall never negotiate out of fear and we never shall fear to negotiate ''.

We wish the President would remember that `` fiscal responsibility '' was the battle-cry of the party that lost the election.

I am sure that they did when Eisenhower was President.

You remember the words of President Kennedy a week or so ago, when someone asked him when he was in Canada, and Dean Rusk was in Europe, and Vice President Johnson was in Asia, `` Who is running the store ''??

On 28 September 2008, the CSU failed to gain an absolute majority, attaining 43 %, of the vote in the Bavaria state election for the first time since 1966 on a percentage basis and was forced into a coalition with the FDP.

For example, Helmut Kohl's CDU governed for years in coalition with the Free Democratic Party ( FDP ), from 1998 to 2005 Gerhard Schröder's SPD was in power with the Greens and from 2009 Angela Merkel, CDU / CSU was in power with the FDP.

This was the situation in Germany in 2005 when Angela Merkel became Chancellor: in early elections, the CDU / CSU did not garner enough votes to form a majority coalition with the FDP ; similarly the SPD and Greens did not have enough votes to continue on with their formerly ruling coalition.

LYMEC is led by German politician Alexander Plahr ( FDP, Germany ), who was elected to a two-year term as LYMEC President in May 2010, and has a collective membership of over 200, 000 young liberal Europeans.

The FDP was founded in 1948 by members of the former liberal political parties existing in Germany before World War II, the German Democratic Party and the German People's Party.

The FDP was founded on 11 December 1948 through the merger of nine regional liberal parties formed in 1945 from the remnants of the pre-1933 German People's Party ( DVP ) and the German Democratic Party ( DDP ), which had been active in the Weimar Republic.

At other times, for example after the 2002 federal election, a coalition between the FDP and CDU / CSU was impossible primarily because of the weak results of the FDP.

One possibility was a partnership between the FDP, the Social Democratic Party of Germany ( SPD ) and the Alliance 90 / The Greens, known as a " traffic light coalition ", named after the colors of the three parties.

This coalition was ruled out, because the FDP considered the Social Democrats and the Greens insufficiently committed to market-oriented economic reform.

The FDP retained their seats in the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia, which was held six months after the federal election, but out of the seven state elections that have been held since 2009, the FDP have lost all their seats in five of them due to failing to cross the 5 % threshold.

The FDP had promised to lower taxes in the electoral campaign but after being part of the coalition they had to admit that this was not possible regarding the economic crisis.

Because of the losses Guido Westerwelle had to resign as chair of the FDP in favor of Philipp Rösler, Federal Minister of Health, who was consequently appointed as vice chancellor.

The Greens and the SPD came one seat short of a governing majority, but after multiple negotiations about coalitions of SPD and Greens with either the FDP or The Left, the SPD and Greens decided to form a minority government, which was possible because under the constitution of North Rhine-Westphalia a plurality of seats is sufficient to elect a minister-president.

In 2010 Geneva City Council was made up of two representatives of the SDP ( Social Democratic Party, one of whom is the mayor ), one member of the FDP ( Free Democratic Party ), one member of the Green Party and one member of the À gauche Toute party.

In 1965 Genscher was elected on the North Rhine-Westphalian FDP list to the West German parliament and remained a member of parliament until his retirement in 1998.

After serving in several party offices, he was appointed Minister of the Interior by Chancellor Willy Brandt, whose Social Democratic Party was in coalition with the FDP, in 1969 ; in 1974, he became foreign minister and Vice Chancellor.

The classic distribution of 2 CVP / PDC, 2 SPS / PSS, 2 FDP / PRD and 1 SVP / UDC as it stood from 1959 to 2003 was known as the " magic formula ".

Strauß was also unable to defeat the SPD / FDP alliance.

On 1 October 1982, the CDU proposed a constructive vote of no confidence which was supported by the FDP.
