America, everyone knows it's the greatest nation on Earth and our leaders are the greatest leaders on Earth.

But did you know there are other countries that are not America and each of them has a leader of its very own?

Let's take a moment to meet 1 in our ongoing series, Other Countries, Presidents of the United States.

That's right, Francoise Hollande, the president of France, the country where your cousin spent a three-month semester abroad, and the rest of his life overemphasizing the word croissant.

Interestingly, Hollande is rare among world leaders, in that he's publicly questioned the existence of God, which perhaps explains why on his inauguration day, this happened.

Hollande is on his way to meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin when his plane was hit by lightning.

Hollande is also a committed socialist, not only believing that France should have a public investment bank and that the country's retirement age should begin at 60, but also that his body should be shared with as many French women as possible.

Yes, Francois is probably most famous for his love life, which rivals that of France's notorious President Le Pew.

We can do away with the Dolphs and the Lemonaries.

Hollande had 4 children with Ségolène Royale, a fellow socialist who also ran for president, only to lose to Nicolas Sarkozy.

Hollande chose to comfort his partner by leaving her for his younger mistress, Valerie Travailleur.

An act so heartless, the French people decided to punish him by electing him to the highest office in the land.

Hollande then cheated on his mistress with another mistress, sneaking out of the presidential palace to meet her for a rendezvous on a scooter.

A sequence of events so stereotypically French, it's almost offensive.

So Tonight, we introduce you to François Hollande, a man who dumped a presidential candidate and became president himself, a man who evicted the first lady from the presidential palace, an action which somehow increased his approval ratings, and the only man in the world who's managed to pick up a gorgeous movie star mistress while riding around on a scooter.
