The Cabinet of Eldmora-Auregulus, or People's Cabinet, or Confederal Government is the chief executive body of the Eldmora-Auregulus Confederation. It consists of the President and cabinet members. The powers and duties of the cabinet, as well as the method of its election and appointment, as well as the procedure of its dismissal and removal, are set in the Articles of Confederation, Chapter XX, Article XX through XX.
The President appoints ministers, who are heard and confirmed by the Volksforum. The Volksforum can dismiss individual members of the cabinet by a motion of no confidence, and by impeaching the president, the entire cabinet, however in such a case, the entire Volksforum would also be disbanded. The Staatskanzlei can only move to remove a cabinet by unanimous vote of the council, in such case, the Volksforum would also be disbanded, and special elections would have to be called. A removed cabinet until the elections is a outgoing cabinet, and can only engage in basic day-to-day duties of the executive, while the Staatskanzlei and Volksforum will handle the more politically sensitive matters.
If a President is removed, the Vice-President will assume the position of Acting President until a special election, or for the remainder of the term. Lacking a VP, the Speaker would assume the role, and lacking a speaker, an appointee by the Staatskanzlei will assume the role.
The Cabinet can also move to remove a president, if deemed unfit for duty, by a 2/3rds majority vote, as laid out in Chapter XX, Article XX of the Articles of Confederation.
Members of the Cabinet are not allowed to be a member of the Volksforum or a legislature of their home state, the exception is the Vice-President, who is the President and Primary Presiding Officer of the Staatskanzlei.
Process of nomination and appointment
The President is elected by the Wahlkongress, or Electoral Congress, which votes according to the results of the General Election. Once the votes are confirmed by the Staatskanzlei and Volksforum in a Joint-Session, the President-Elect will begin a period of transition with the old government, or if re-elected will resume duties, until the day of inauguration where the president shall take the oath of office and pledge of allegiance to the confederation.
The President shall once inaugurated, nominate his members of the cabinet, who have to undergo a hearing from the Volksforum, and the simple majority confirmation vote that ensues such a hearing. A hearing takes 2 days, with the 3rd day for debate and voting.
Functioning
The President is the chief executive leader. Thus, the whole cabinet's tenure is linked to the President's tenure; the President's, and thus the cabinet's term automatically ends if a newly elected president is sworn in, or if the president is impeached by the Volksforum, or removed by the Staatskanzlei.
