Line 37 ⟶ 36:
In the [[Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria]], from 1861, the chairman of the [[Province Sejm of Galicia|Provincial Sejm of Galicia]] with its seat at [[Lwów]] bore the title [[Marszałek krajowy]] (Province Marshal). The [[Kingdom of Poland (1916–1918)|Kingdom of Poland]], from 1916 to 1918, used the title [[Marszałek Rady Stanu]] (Marshal of the State Council).
 
In the [[Second Polish Republic]] (1918–1939), the [[Legislator|deputies]] elected one of their number as Marshal of the Sejm for the duration of the [[Sejm]]'s term. Until 1935 (when superseded by the [[Marszałek Senatu|Senate Marshal]]), the Marshal or Chairman of the Sejm substituted for the [[President of Poland]] in the latter's absence or disability ([[Acting President of the Republic of Poland]]). Nowadays, it is again the Marshal of the Sejm who becomes the Acting President.
 
==Modern Marshals of the Sejm==
Today the Marshal of the Sejm is the chairman of the Presidium of the Sejm (''Prezydium Sejmu'') and the Convention of Seniors (''Konwent Seniorów''). The Marshal oversees the work of the Sejm, supervises procedural sessions of the Sejm, and convenes and chairs the proceedings of the Convention of Seniors and the Presidium of the Sejm. He (or she) appoints the Chief of the Chambers (of the ''[[Sejm]]'', and of the [[Senate of Poland|''Senat'']]), and since 1989 substitutes for the [[President of Poland]] in the event of that office's vacancy.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://wydawnictwo.uwm.edu.pl/uploads/documents/czytelnia/emonografie/Pozycja%20ustrojowa.pdf |language=pl |title=Pozycja ustrojowa marszałka sejmu w świetle Konstytucji Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej z 1997 roku |website=uwm.edu.pl |author=Bogna Przybyszewska-Szter |access-date=13 November 2023}}</ref>
