Footnotes

  1. ^ Yanguas was President of the National Assembly during Primo de Riveras dictatorship
  2. ^ The Cortes had been an unicameral body during the Francoist period. After the law of political reform passed in 1976, the Cortes became a bicameral Parliament, and the first bicameral Cortes, elected in 1977, were empowered to draft a new Constitution for Spain. Fernando Álvares de Miranda served as the first president of the Congress of Deputies, the lower House of the bicameral Cortes Generales, but, until the entry into force of Spain's new Constitution on December 29, 1978, the office of President of the Cortes still existed, and was held by Senator Antonio Hernández Gil.
