Marszałek senior

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marszałek senior (Senior marshal) is a honorary post in Sejm (Polish parliament) given to one of the oldest (in age) members of the body. He is nominated by the President of Poland and functions as Marszałek sejmu (Marshal of the Sejm) until that holder of office is elected by the newly elected Sejm and Senate. Election of the marshal of the Sejm is usually the first item on the agenda for the new Sejm.
