1Members are elected by federal parliament for a four year term and traditionally re-elected. If the predecessor died in office, date of election, otherwise - if available - first day in office.
2Not reelected (Jean-Jacques Challet-Venel, Ulrich Ochsenbein, Ruth Metzler-Arnold)
3The office was previously declined by the first person elected: 11.7.1855 Johann Stehlin (1803-1879) BS; 18.12.1875 Charles Estoppey (1820-1888) VD; 10.12.1875 Antoine Louis John Ruchonnet (1834-1893) VD, accepted later; 22.2.1881 Karl Hoffmann (1820-1895) SG; 03.03.1993 Francis Matthey (1942-2002) NE.

Swiss Federal Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (306 words)
The Swiss Federal Council (in German, Schweizerische Bundesrat; in French, Conseil fédéral suisse; in Italian, Consiglio federale svizzero; in Romansh, Cussegl federal svizzer) is the seven-member executive council which constitutes the government of Switzerland, as well as assuming functions corresponding to those of the head of state of other nations.
The president of the confederation is thus not in the position of a head of state, though he or she may act and be recognized as one welcoming visiting heads of state of foreign nations.
Due to the Federal Council's unique nature as a voluntary grand coalition of political opponents, its operation is subject to numerous constitutional conventions.
