Germany is a federal parliamentary republic so the Chancellor (head of government) is the generally the leader of the largest party or coalition in the Bundestag. The President (head of state) is selected by a secret ballot of a Federal Convention, which is a body consisting of national and local politicians.

The "leaders" (the seven members of the federal council) are elected by the parliament (two chambers). These chambers are elected by the Swiss population. One chamber, the council of states has 2 members for each full-state and 1 for each semi-state. The other chamber, the national council, has a fixed size of 200 seats distributed among the states according to their populations.

Switzerland has a collective head of state, the seven-member federal council. The president is the chairman of this council.

There is a different president each year, starting on 1st January. The president for 2012 is Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf.

Previous presidents were: 2011 - Micheline Calmy-Rey, 2010 - Doris Leuthard, 2009 - Hans-Rudolf Merz, 2008 - Pascal Couchepin.

The official title is "President of the Confederation" (German: Bundespräsident(in), French: Président(e) de la Confédération, Italian: Presidente della Confederazione, Romansh: President(a) da la Confederaziun). The president is the presiding member of the seven-member Swiss Federal Council, Switzerland's 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 or her department. Traditionally the duty rotates among the members in order of seniority and the previous year's Vice President becomes President.
