Encyclopedia: President of the Swiss Confederation

The President of the Confederation (German: Bundespräsident, French: Président de la Confédération, Italian: Presidente della Confederazione, Romansh: President da la Confederaziun) is the presiding member of the Swiss Federal Council, Switzerland's seven-member executive. Elected by the Federal Assembly for one year, the President of the Confederation chairs the meetings of the Federal Council and undertakes special representational duties. Primus inter pares, the President has no powers above the other Councillors and continues to head his department. Traditionally the duty rotates among the members in order of seniority and the previous year's Vice President becomes President.
