What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

Do Republicans realize that the power of the people is invested in 'representative government'? If so, why did they elect a pathological liar?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
