Bundestag

🇩🇪 INFORMATION 🇩🇪 The German Bundestag is the national parliament of Germany and the core institution of its democracy. It consists of representatives elected by the people and meets in the Reichstag Building in Berlin. Its main role is to pass, amend, and repeal laws, forming the legal basis of the state. It also controls the federal budget and oversees the government to ensure accountability. A key power of the Bundestag is electing the Federal Chancellor, who leads the government. It can remove the Chancellor only through a constructive vote of no confidence, which requires choosing a successor at the same time. Members are elected through a mixed system combining district representatives and proportional party lists, usually serving four-year terms. The Bundestag also operates through committees that examine legislation in detail.
