Challenging EU Challenge!

This came to me in a dream last night, and was, in my humble opinion, rather a cool idea. Your challenge, with a POD any time after 1945 is to create the title "Holy Roman Emperor of the European Union" as title of the head of state of the EU. This can be an elected monarchy if you choose, but it has to be one where the Emperor is elected for life. Bonus points if you can get in some extra cool Electors. Bonus bonus points if you can have the Emperor have some genuine political power and clout. Go for it...
 
We need a Third Global War to make a EU monarchy happen in the first place. Europe still being habitable in the strictest sense of word and losing just 90 to 95, but not 100 per cent of its population, would be a good scenario to have an outdated source of authority to be chosen in favor of no authority at all.

Best choice? Well, they're all in the family. No actual head of state as it would symbolically put one country over another. So you'd have to come with a Central or Eastern European monarch. Of course, there are the Habsburgs, but what about the Karadjordjevic or Simeon II?

You clearly have a better class of dream.
 
How about the one, the only, Chancellor Otto von Bismarck? You get unrivalled foreign policy, the good part of Imelda's hubby and style all in one. VOTE BISMARCK!
