Presidium of the Bundestag (Germany)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Presidium of the German Bundestag consists of the President of the Bundestag and a variable number (currently 4) of Vice-Presidents of the Bundestag.

The president is elected by all members the Bundestag during its first meeting; he almost always comes from the largest Fraktion in the Bundestag (tradition has made this a sort of unwritten law). His administration ends with the end of a legislature; he can, however, be re-elected, as long as he is also re-elected to the Bundestag.

In 1994 it was decided that every Fraktion in the Bundestag should be represented by a vice-president.

The most important role of the president is the direction of the Bundestag sittings. To demonstrate the importance of the parliament in Germany's democracy, the parliament's president receives a higher salary than the Chancellor and the Federal President.
