Show answer and explanation
✓ La persona que preside el Congreso
The president of the Congreso de los Diputados (the lower chamber of the Spanish parliament) is the third authority of the State, after the king and the Prime Minister. He or she leads the debates of the Congreso and represents the chamber. The president of the Senado has a lower place in protocol. As you see, the order does not depend on how important the position is day to day, but on protocol. To remember it: King, Government, Congreso.
