The '''Speaker of the Chamber''', also commonly referred to as the '''Speaker of Congress''', is the presiding officer of the [[Congressional Hall (Zamastan)|Congressional Hall]] in [[Zamastan]]. The office was established in 1804 upon the independence of Zamastan. The Speaker is chosen by the political party that holds the most seats in the Congress Chamber. They are responsible for overseeing the Congress Chamber, and are voted out of office if the party they belong to loses a majority in the Chamber. Their unofficial roles involve ensuring that their legislative agenda is passed. The current Speaker of the Chamber is [[Natasha Chastain]], who succeeded [[Larious Maxwell]] following his resignation. Maxwell succeeded former-[[President of Zamastan|President]] [[Foley Sakzi]], who was the leading member of the [[Blue Conservative Party (Zamastan)|Blue Conservative Party]]. Speakers also perform various other administrative and procedural functions. Given these several roles and responsibilities, the Speaker usually does not personally preside over debates. That duty is instead delegated to members of the House from the majority party. Neither does the Speaker regularly participate in floor debates.
