65. It is not among the tasks of the German Bundestag to ...

Answer options

1. to draft legislation.
2. to oversee the Federal Government.
3. to elect the Federal Chancellor.
4. to form the Federal Cabinet.

Explanation

Under the Basic Law (Grundgesetz, GG), the Bundestag elects the Federal Chancellor (Art. 63 GG) and exercises parliamentary oversight of the Federal Government, inter alia through questions, committees of inquiry (Art. 44 GG), and the power of the purse. Legislative initiative may also originate from within the Bundestag (Art. 76(1) GG), so drafting legislation lies within its remit. By contrast, forming the Federal Cabinet is not a parliamentary competence: federal ministers are appointed and dismissed by the Federal President on the Chancellor's proposal (Art. 64 GG), and the internal organization of government follows the Chancellor principle (Art. 65 GG).
