Speaker of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico : ウィキペディア英語版 | Speaker of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico
The President of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico —commonly called the Speaker of the House ((スペイン語:Presidente de la Cámara de Representantes))— is the highest-ranking officer and the presiding officer of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico. The Speaker has voting powers as it is elected amongst the own members of the House as established by Article III of the Constitution of Puerto Rico. The Constitution, however, does not establish its functions and since the House is the only body authorized by the Constitution to regulate its own internal affairs, the functions of the Speaker vary from session to session—save being called "Speaker" as the Constitution establishes. The Speaker is typically elected during the House inaugural session.〔R. de la C. 126 del 2013, ("Reglamento de la Cámara de Representantes del Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico" ) (in Spanish) House of Representatives of Puerto Rico (January 15, 2013). Retrieved on August 9, 2013.〕 When absent, the Speaker is substituted by the Speaker pro tempore.〔 Its counterpart in the Senate is the President of the Senate. The current Speaker is Jaime Perelló, representative at-large from the Popular Democratic Party. ==Background==
The Speaker traces its history back to more than years ago when the Foraker Act formally established the post on April 12, 1900. Several laws eventually superseded said act, and the post was eventually established by the Constitution of Puerto Rico, specifically Article III, which establishes that, "()the House of Representatives (elect ) a Speaker from among () members." The Constitution, however, does not establish what a "Speaker" is nor what its function should be.〔 Internal rules adopted by the House through a simple resolution establish its definition, functions, responsibilities, and legal scope.〔
