The president of the Chamber of Deputies (Luxembourgish: Chamberpresident, French: Président de la Chambre des Députés, German: Präsident der Abgeordnetenkammer) is the presiding officer in Luxembourg's unicameral national legislature, the Chamber of Deputies. The current president is Claude Wiseler who is the 40th person to hold the position.
The person holding the office is sometimes referred to as the "First Citizen of the Country" (Luxembourgish: éischte Bierger vum Land).[1][2]
Note that, during recess, the chamber does not have a president. However, for continuity purposes, unless the president changes between one parliamentary session and another, the presidency is treated as though it is held continuously.
