The Swiss Federal Council is Switzerland's seven-member collective executive, elected by the Federal Assembly for four-year terms and serving jointly as head of state and head of government with no single leader; one member is chosen by the Federal Assembly to serve a rotating one-year term as President of the Swiss Confederation, operating within a semi-direct democratic federal republic, while the bicameral Federal Assembly, comprising the National Council and the Council of States, holds legislative power.
