The Council of Guardianship of the Imperium (Caphiric Latin: Concilium Tutelae Imperialis), better known as The Council of The Imperium, and more commonly as The Imperium, is the central executive authority of the Imperium of Caphiria. It consists of the Imperator of Caphiria, the President of the Council (i.e. the Prime Minister), and the 15 state ministries known as the Council of Ministers. The Council also has several non-magisterial officials such as deputy ministers (viceministri), junior ministers (sottosegretari), and more.
According to the Constitution, the Council is led by the Imperator, who delegates through the President of the Council and ministers. The Imperator appoints the prime minister, and, on his proposal, the ministers form its cabinet. The Council of the Imperium is often contracted to simply "The Imperium" and is often used metonymically to refer to the Government of Caphiria.
Organization
The Council of The Imperium consists of:
- The Office of the Imperium
- The Imperator, as head of state and of the executive branch of the government;
- The Prime Minister, the chair of the council, who is appointed by the Imperator after consultations and is confirmed by a vote of both houses of the Senate;
- Non-magisterial officials such as the numerarius (who keeps records of national finances); the adjutores (assistants to the Imperator); the magister equitum (organizer of the Imperator's transportation), etc.
- The Council of Ministers
- The Ministers, appointed by the Imperator, according to the request of the Prime Minister.
Functions
As the central organ of the executive power, the Council's primary role is to actualize national political decisions. The Constitution provides it with the following means of doing this:
Legislative initiative: The Council of the Imperium can present bills to the national parliament.
Decree power: The Council of the Imperium can adopt two different types of the decree with legal force (that is, with a legal power equivalent to laws passed by the Senate): the Decree-law in cases of urgency and the Legislative decree in cases where the Senate has expressly delegated legislative authority to the Council. Frequent use of the decree power has seen substantial legislative power shift from the Senate to the Council.
Regulatory power: The ministers have two distinct but co-existing roles. They are politically the supreme executive authorities appointed by the Senate, but they are also the administrative heads of the State, whose activities they direct by the political process. As administrators, the Council and the individual ministers can produce "regulations" (regolamenti), which are legal implements subordinate to legislation. Thus, regulations that contradict legislation (i.e., laws passed by parliament, decree-laws, legislative decrees) are illegitimate and can be set aside by ordinary judges and annulled by administrative judges.
Ministries
The current Prime Minister of the Council of the Imperium is Gregricius Cenora Varimonteka. Currently, there are 15 ministries in the Council of Ministers and an additional xx departments.
