In December 1945 after World War II, there were a few amendments to Kyuchu Sekiji such as raising the rank of both chairmen of the Kizokuin (House of Peers) and House of Representatives to the sixth; but with the enforcement of the Constitution of Japan the following year, the ranking was abolished.
第二次世界大戦後の1945年（昭和20年）12月には貴族院_(日本)･衆議院両院の議長が第6位に繰り上げられるなどの改正がなされたが、翌年には日本国憲法の施行とともに廃止された。
