He was no more elected than a US supreme court justice is.
The president nominates them and the senate votes whether or not to confirm the appointment.

He appointed chancellor which at the time was like 2nd or 3rd in the hierarchy.
President of the Federation
President of the Parliament
Chancellor....
If memory serves me correctly.
He became President by declaring himself as such and holding both offices, making him the untouchable top dog, the man with the plan, the dictator, the supreme ruler, the fuhrer.
Started strutting around in that SS drip spittin on the mic with that nazi rizz.
The first people sent to concentration camps were his unlawfully arrested political opponents. 😯
