The Prime Minister of the Netherlands (''Minister-President'' in Dutch) is the Chairman of the Council Of Ministers and active executive authority of the Dutch government. Although formally no special powers are assigned, the Prime Minister functions as the "face" of the Cabinet Of The Netherlands . Usually, the prime minister is also minister of General Affairs (Minister van Algemene Zaken). Until 1945, the position of head of the council of ministers officially switched between the ministers, although practices differed throughout history. In 1945, the position was formally instituted. The Prime Minister is the leader of the majority party or coalition in the lower house of parliament ( Tweede Kamer ), and is a member of the Council of Ministers.
