So, codecision and making the Commission President not owe their place to either Parliament or Council sould be a good thing.
Also, how the President is selected has nothing to do with how they are removed. One could still allow the EP to impeach them, to confirm the appointments of the commissioners, etc. "It's the statue, man, The Statue."
What makes you think that a directly elected President would be more likely to act on an issue like the CIA prison/flight scandal than a directly elected Parliament? *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
The less the people in the various institutions owe their seats to each other (or to the same outside agent) the better. "It's the statue, man, The Statue."
