Talk:Departmental council (France)

Lost in translation?
How can a single person be the "department's executive  body "? I would say that whilst one person can certainly function as the executive of a  department , or a group of persons can do so collectively as sn "executive body", is it proper to refer to a single individual as an "executive body"? If this is somehow correct then I don't wish to change it unnecessarily. 2600:1004:B123:B5E3:9453:3134:6321:E148 (talk) 20:31, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The legal text is "Le président du conseil général est l'organe exécutif du département"
 * I agree that body is an inappropriate translation for organe here. I have recast the relevant sentence in the article in such a way as to remove the word body. -- Picapica (talk) 13:37, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
