Socialising
Son M. is becoming quite a socialiser. He received an invitation today to meet the President of the Federal Council of Germany Volker Bouffier (the Bundesratspräsident -- not the same as the Bundespräsident or the Bundeskanzler). Bundesratspräsident is an uncommon office: if the Federal President of Germany is unable to perform his/her duties, or if his/her
office falls prematurely vacant, the Bundesratspräsident
exercises his/her powers. Some former Bundesratspräsidents are Willy Brandt, Franz Josef Strauß, and Gerhard Schröder. The Bundesrat may be described as an Upper House of parliament.
