No, but like most of my countrymen, I have a pretty good understanding on how we get our executive government.
Your executive government sits in Brussels and the process for appointing the Commission is pretty far from being democratic and transparent, let's be honest. Imagine if all the governors of the US states gathered together for a few days in Washington and argued among themselves to appoint the next President and VP, who should sit in the cabinet and with what role, etc. Eventually, after a lot of horse-trading and backhand favours, they'd reach an agreement and Congress would 99% of the time rubber stamp their choices. The people wouldn't be consulted, anyone could be given a position (even someone never elected to anything in their life) and they could not be removed at the ballot box. Is that democratic? No, yet that's what happens in the EU. If you defend that as 'democratic' then you have no right to criticise the American system imperfect as it may be.
