The President of the Chamber of Representatives, known for short as the President of the Chamber or Chamber President, was the speaker of the Chamber of Representatives and the de facto head of the legislative branch of the Government. The President was elected by the representatives at the beginning of every term of the Chamber, which is three months, unless the President of the Republic dissolves the chamber early. The presidency of the Chamber was abolished along with the National Assembly on the 27th of June 2023.
History
The history of the President of the Chamber comes from the Speaker of the Reichstag Lower House, the presiding officer of the Lower House. The only speaker was Samuel Newman, who served from 28 November 2022 until 2 February 2022, when the entire Reichstag and its houses were abolished.
The Chamber of Representatives was constituted as the lower house of the National Assembly, and the position of the President of the Chamber was created. The position would only be filled on 21 April 2022, after the 1st chamber election and the first election of the Chamber President.
Responsibilities
The President of the Chamber’s responsibilities were to preside over the Chamber and to keep decorum and standards.
The President of the Chamber also was the third-in-line to the President of Roscamistan, behind the Vice President of Roscamistan, and the President of the Senate. The President was the only legislative officer in line to the Presidency of Roscamistan.
Election
The Chamber President was elected by simple majority of the representatives at the beginning of a chamber session. After their election, the Chamber President sacrificed their right to speak in favour of granting people the right to speak in the chamber, and cannot propose legislation. The Chamber President could resign his charge by submitting his resignation to the Dean of the Chamber. In the case of resignation, the Deputy President succeeded. In the case of no Deputy President, the Dean of the Chamber presided over the election of the new Chamber President.
