The Bundestag has several functions, among which a few are shared with the [[German Bundesrat|Bundesrat]].

As the [[President of Germany]] is the [[head of state]], and the Bundestag would produce, oversee and control the government, the president of the Bundestag is the second-highest ranking administrator of Germany. The [[Chancellor of Germany|chancellor]], albeit [[head of government]], is only the third-highest ranking administrator and has to petition both the presidents he is subordinated to for certain procedures. |
