	Prime Minister of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Prime Minister, or President of the Government (Spanish: Presidente del Gobierno), of Spain is the Spanish head of government, but not the head of state, which is the King.
		The President of the Government is elected by the Congress of Deputies (the lower house of parliament) on being proposed by the King (this step is a mere formality).
		Literally translated, this title is "President of the Government", but nevertheless the office-holder is commonly referred to in English as the "prime minister": the usual term for the head of government in a constitutional monarchy.

	Politics of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Politics of Spain takes place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic constitutional monarchy, whereby the monarch is the Head of State and the President of the Government is the head of government and of a pluriform multi-party system.
		It is headed by the president of the government (Prime Minister) who is elected by the lower house of parliament (Congress of Deputies) having to win a majority of votes in the first round of voting and a plurality in the successive rounds of voting.
		Spain is, at present, what is called a State of Autonomies, formally unitary but, in fact, functioning as a Federation of Autonomous Communities, each one with different powers (for instance, some have their own educational and health systems co-ordinated by the central government, co-official language and particular cultural identity) and laws.
