The Bundestag has several functions, among which a few are shared with the [[German Bundesrat|Bundesrat]]. It is the chief legislative body on the federal level, producing the [[Cabinet of Germany|federal government]] and its presiding [[Chancellor of Germany|chancellor]]. The individual states ({{lang|de|[[States of Germany|Bundesländer]]}}) of Germany participate in the legislative process through the Bundesrat, a separate assembly sharing several privileges with the house.<ref>{{cite book|title=Grundgesetz für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland|date=8 May 1949|publisher=Parlamentarischer Rat|location=Bonn|edition=23 December 2014|url=https://www.btg-bestellservice.de/pdf/10060000.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.btg-bestellservice.de/pdf/10060000.pdf |archive-date=9 October 2022 |url-status=live|access-date=19 June 2016}}</ref> The Bundestag elects and oversees the chancellor and their ministers, to each of which the parliament constituted mirroring [[Committee|committees]] for oversight (''Ausschüsse''). Setting the [[government budget]] is the parliament's primary privilege, for which to execute it assembles the largest and most important committee of the house. Opposed to most debates in the Bundestag focussing on a specific topic, budget bills from the committee are heavily debated in the style of a review and general criticism on the government for the past year (''Generaldebatte''). The Bundestag also exclusively mandates about deployment, dispatch and assignments of the [[Bundeswehr]], Germany's military. The [[commander-in-chief]], which is the [[Federal Ministry of Defence (Germany)|federal minister of defence]], is obliged to and acting on behalf of the parliament (''Parlamentsarmee'').

Since 1999, the Bundestag has met in the [[Reichstag building]] in Berlin.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wegderdemokratie.de/en/plenarsaal-deutscher-bundestag|title=Plenarsaal "Deutscher Bundestag" – The Path of Democracy|website=www.wegderdemokratie.de|language=en|access-date=11 December 2019}}</ref> The Bundestag also operates in multiple new government buildings in Berlin around the [[Renaissance Revival architecture|neo-renaissance]] house and has its own [[German Parliament Police|police force]] (the [[German Parliament Police|''Bundestagspolizei'']]), directly subordinated to the [[President of the Bundestag|Bundestag Presidency]]. Since 2021, [[Bärbel Bas]] of the [[Social Democratic Party of Germany|SPD]] is the [[president of the Bundestag]], with as much as five vice presidents, one from each faction. The presidents and vice presidents of the parliament are elected by the members of the parliament from among their midst.

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.
