Bernard Accoyer (French pronunciation:

President of the National Assembly of France from 2007 to 2012. He was also the Mayor of Annecy-le-Vieux.^[1]^[2]

Political career

Career in local politics

Accoyer, a doctor by profession, has served as

General Council of Haute-Savoie

from March 1992 to March 1998.

Member of the National Assembly

Accoyer served as a deputy for the first constituency of

National Assembly of France

from 2004 to 2007.

In 2007, Accoyer was selected as the candidate of the UMP group, which has the absolute majority, for the presidency of the

National Assembly. He became the President of the National Assembly on 26 June 2007.^[1]

On 6 November 2007, Accoyer was among the guests invited to the

U.S. President George W. Bush in honor of President Nicolas Sarkozy at the White House.^[3]

Despite the unwritten tradition that the President of the National Assembly abstains from taking part in votes, Accoyer voted in favor of a bill providing for major constitutional changes on 21 July 2008; because the bill passed by only a one-vote margin, his vote in favor, along with that of Socialist deputy Jack Lang, was crucial.^[4]
