- The Provisional Constitution of 1918 referred to presiding officers of the Valstybės Taryba as prezidentas and viceprezidentas. These styles are documented in the minutes of the Taryba starting from 29 Oct 1918 and 1 Nov 1918 respectively (Lietuvos Valstybės Tarybos protokolai 1917–1918, pp. 340ff), but pirmininkas and vicepirmininkas also continued in official use.
- Following his election as the State President (Valstybės Prezidentas) on 4 Apr 1919, Smetona ceased to chair the meetings, although he did not resign as a member of the State Council.
- Meetings of the State Council are chaired by vice-presidents (vicepirmininkas): Justinas Staugaitis and Stasys Šilingas.
