Speakers of Congress
Beginning in June 2009, a Speaker of Congress was elected for every new term. This position primarily lead to the responsibility of representing congress in the public. Supporting those role is the Vice-Speaker, who similarly represents congress and acts in cases that the primary Speaker can not. The roles are usually appointed by the acting President with general opinion coming from all acting Congress members.
Many future presidents began their political career as a Speaker of Congress or Vice-Speaker. 6 Presidents of Estonia have spent time as Speaker of Congress (Albertti, Krist0, Angst Winterblest, S33vald, Elari Reili and Sim Maatriks). Elari Reili and Sim Maatriks are the only presidents who have not spent one or more terms as a Vice-Speaker.
In June of 2010 the concept and responsibilities of a Speaker of Congress were downgraded, though some members of Congress still regularly take it upon themselves to represent the acting Congressional body.
