The '''Cabinet of Belmonte''' ({{wp|Portuguese language|Iustian}}: ''Gabinete de Belmonte''), officially the '''Council of Ministers of the United Republic of Belmonte''' (Iustian: ''Conselho de Ministros da República Unida de Belmonte''), is the collective decision-making body of the [[Government of Belmonte]], being presided by the [[Prime Minister of Belmonte|prime minister]] while has as its members the secretaries of State of the republic. According to the [[Constitution of Belmonte|constitution]], their responsibilities include discussing future government projects and plans as well as make joint decisions regarding several different political and economic fields over the course of their mandate.
The '''Cabinet of Belmonte''' ({{wp|Portuguese language|Luzelese}}: ''Gabinete Ministerial de Belmonte''), officially the '''Council of Ministers of the Belmontese Republic''' (Luzelese: ''Conselho de Ministros da República Belmontesa''), is the {{wp|Collegiality|collegial}} {{wp|Cabinet (government)|decision-making body}} of the [[Government of Belmonte|Belmontese Government]], being presided by the premier who draws its members from the [[National Congress of Belmonte|National Congress]]. The cabinet forms, alongside the offices of [[Premier of Belmonte|premier]] and [[President of Belmonte|president]], the {{wp|Executive (government)|executive branch}} of the Belmontese Government.
 
==Functions==
Since April 15th 2015, the president of the cabinet is [[Rita Maurino]], who maintains a coalition between the [[Social Democratic Party (Belmonte)|Social Democratic Party]], the [[Socialist Bloc (Belmonte)|Socialist Bloc]] and some independent politicians as well.
According to the [[Constitution of Belmonte|Constitution]], the Cabinet is the official executive collective decision-making body of Belmonte under a ''{{wp|primus inter pares}}'' system, however, ever since the late-20th century, the officer of premier has total preeminence over the cabinet, having total control of their ministers and agenda.
==Cabinet meetings==
The cabinet meet every week in the Mondays at 7 am to deal with every governmental project planned to be introduced over the course of the following days such as drafts and decrees that need to be approved in the congress or the resolution and management of problems within the public administration and bureaucracy. Traditionally, these meetings happen in the official residence and workplace of the prime minister, the [[Bensafrim House]], however, in some occasions, the meetings could happen in the [[Aranha Building]], where it is located the majority of ministries and secretaries of Belmonte. In emergency situations, it’s possible that the cabinet meets in extraordinary sessions or together with other advisory institutions, such as the [[State Council of Belmonte|State Council]] or the [[National Defence Council (Belmonte)|National Defence Council]], which happened during the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], the [[1963 terrorist attacks in Belmonte|1963 terrorist attacks]], the [[June's March|protests of 1969]] and [[April's March|1979]] among with many other events.
==Parliamentary accountability==
Despite the legislation is pretty clear towards the fact that the prime minister must be a member of the [[Chamber of Deputies of Belmonte|Chamber of Deputies]], it doesn’t restrict senators or even non-parliamentarians to become cabinet members. Although the majority of the prime ministers followed the tradition of making at least most of its cabinet composed by deputies, the number of non-parliamentarians present in it grew over the last years, especially on secretaries that deal with more technical issues. Anyway, all secretaries have their own designated seats in parliament regardless of being members of such or not.
 
The prime minister and its cabinet is heavily dependent on parliamentary accountability for the sake of their government programs be approved. Also, the [[National Congress of Belmonte|congress]] could at any time convoke one cabinet member to be accounted in parliamentary committees, and the deputies could, with a simple majority, dismiss them from their office through a motion of non-confidence.
