Presidente del Gobierno

The president of the Spanish central government and the equivalent of the Prime Minister in the UK. Each party running for power in Spain nominates a person, usually the party leader, to become the president if that party wins the elections. He is appointed for a four-year term, and may be reelected in the next general election. However, the Congreso de los Diputados can pass a vote of censure on him, forcing him to resign and call an early election.

Congreso de los Diputados

Also known as the Cámara de los Diputados, this is the lower house of the Spanish Cortes Generales. The number of members (diputados) can be up to 300 or 400. Generally there are around 250. They are elected every four years by proportional representation. Each of Spain's 52 provinces is treated as an electoral district.
The Congreso legislates, approves the Budget, elects the Prime Minister, controls the actions of the executive, and debates current national and international political issues.
