Bern (seat of the Federal Assembly)
Part of
Walther Hauser elected President of Switzerland for 1900

The Federal Assembly elected Walther Hauser as President of Switzerland for the 1900 term; the supplied passages do not record the election's exact date.

Walther Hauser, a Federal Councillor since 1888, was elected by the Federal Assembly to serve as President of Switzerland for the year 1900. The Federal Assembly elects the president from the Federal Council for a one-year term. The supplied passages confirm only the 1900 term year and not the date of the election itself; the legacy row's 14 December 1899 date is unverified. Bern is identified here as the seat of the Federal Assembly rather than a passage-confirmed election site.
