The '''Federal Prime Minister of Besmenia''' (Besmenian: ''Bundesministerpräsident von Besmenien'') is the head of government in the Federal Republic of [[Besmenia]].
The '''Premier of Besmenia''', officially the '''federal premier of the Federal Republic of Besmenia''' (Besmenian: ''Bundespremier von Besmenien'') is the head of government of the Federal Republic of [[Besmenia]].


Together with the federal ministers, he forms the Besmenian government. According to the [[Basic Law of Besmenia|Basic Law]], the Besmenian Prime Minister determines the guidelines for politics. In practice, however, he must take into account the ideas of his own party and the coalition partners. The Prime Minister proposes the Federal Ministers to the [[President of Besmenia|President]]. Without this proposal, the President cannot appoint anyone as Federal Minister. Without the participation of the President, the Prime Minister appoints one of the Federal Ministers as his official deputy, who is officially referred to as [[Vice Prime Minister of Besmenia|Vice Prime Minister]].

The current Prime Minister is [[Thomas Pühringer]] ([[Besmenian People's Party|BVP]]).

===Tenure===
===Tenure===
The Prime Minister's term of office is not limited in time like that of the president or the [[Federal Chamber (Besmenia)|Federal Chamber]]; the appointment is permanent. The appointment of the Prime Minister and the other federal ministers by the president has nothing to do constitutionally with the elections to the Federal Chamber, nor with the term of office and the popular election of the president. In fact, it mostly correlates with Federal Chamber elections.

===End of term===
===End of term===
The term of office normally ends with the swearing in of a new government and its replacement. However, the term of office can also end prematurely with his death, his incapacity to hold office, his replacement by a constructive vote of no confidence and his resignation.

===Vote of confidence===
===Vote of confidence===
If the Prime Minister has the impression that the majority of the Federal Chamber no longer supports his policy, he can ask a vote of confidence and thus force the Federal Chamber to act itself. He can also combine the vote of confidence with a substantive decision, i.e. a draft law or another substantive motion. If the Federal Chamber does not approve the Prime Minister's motion to vote in confidence with an absolute majority, there are two options:

If the Federal Chamber does not approve the premier's motion to vote in confidence with an absolute majority, there are two options:
 
*The Prime Minister can decide not to draw any constitutional consequences.
*The Prime Minister can propose to the President that the Federal Chamber be dissolved; the President decides politically independently on this proposal. With the convening of the newly elected Federal Chamber, the term of office of the previous Prime Minister ends automatically, although re-election by the new Federal Chamber is possible.
===Vice Prime Minister===
The [[Vice Prime Minister of Besmenia|Vice Prime Minister]] is the deputy to the Besmenian head of government. The prime minister appoints a federal minister as his deputy without the participation of the president. The vice prime minister is usually a member of the small coalition partner, and is also its most important politician. The vice prime minister only assumes the function of prime minister and not the office itself. If the prime minister's term of office ends prematurely (e.g. resignation or death), the vice prime minister assumes the function and duties for a short period until a new prime minister is appointed would. This happened in 1962 with the resignation of [[Günther Brecht]], in 1991 with the [[Assassination of Martin Beiter|assassination]] of [[Martin Beiter]] and most recently in 2011 with the resignation of [[Ursula Kummstein]].


The current vice prime minister has been [[Ivar Combrinck]] ([[Social Democratic Union (Besmenia)|SDU]]) since September 2021.

The Prime Minister's office and residence has been in the [[Federal House]] since 1973. The Federal House was built between 1969 and 1973 on Leina Island in the Mitte district in Laitstadt. After the construction was completed in May 1973, Robert Gleitzmann moved into the Federal House in September 1973 as the first Prime Minister. It replaced Bertrecht's Palace as the seat of the Prime Minister from 1920-1973.

The building also houses a private apartment for the Prime Minister and his family. The private apartment is voluntary, which means that the Prime Minister can decide for himself whether he will use it or not. So far Kurt Stöger, Theodor Sidemann and Richard Benkel have waived the private apartment of the Federal House. Martin Beiter only lived in the apartment during the week and spent the weekends with his family in [[Behringen]].

The Premier of Besmenia, officially the federal premier of the Federal Republic of Besmenia (Besmenian: Bundespremier von Besmenien) is the head of government of the Federal Republic of Besmenia.

Together with the federal ministers, the premier forms the Besmenian government. According to the Basic Law, he determines the guidelines for politics. In practice, however, he must take into account the ideas of his own party and the coalition partners. The premier proposes the federal ministers to the President. Without this proposal, the president cannot appoint anyone as Federal Minister. Without the participation of the president, the premier appoints one of the federal ministers as his official deputy, who is officially referred to as Vice Premier.

Although the premier is only third in the Besmenian protocol hierarchy after the President and the President of the Federal Chamber, he is considered the most politically powerful and influential Besmenian official.

The current Prime Minister is Thomas Pühringer (BVP).

History

Political position

Office of the Prime Minister in the Federal House.

Election

Similar to the President, there are three rules that a premier candidate must adhere to.

  • The premier candidate must be a citizen of Besmenia
  • The premier candidate must be at least 28 years old

The premier candidate is nominated and confirmed by his political party for the four-year federal election.

Tenure

The premier's term of office is not limited in time like that of the president or the Federal Chamber; the appointment is permanent. The appointment of the premier and the other federal ministers by the president has nothing to do constitutionally with the elections to the Federal Chamber, nor with the term of office and the popular election of the president. In fact, it mostly correlates with Federal Chamber elections.

End of term

The term of office normally ends with the swearing in of a new government and its replacement. However, the term of office can also end prematurely with his death, his incapacity to hold office, his replacement by a constructive vote of no confidence and his resignation.

Vote of confidence

If the premier has the impression that the majority of the Federal Chamber no longer supports his policy, he can ask a vote of confidence and thus force the Federal Chamber to act itself. He can also combine the vote of confidence with a substantive decision, i.e. a draft law or another substantive motion. If the Federal Chamber does not approve the premier's motion to vote in confidence with an absolute majority, there are two options:

  • The premier can decide not to draw any constitutional consequences.
  • The premier can propose to the federal president that the Federal Chamber be dissolved; the federal president decides politically independently on this proposal. With the convening of the newly elected Federal Chamber, the term of office of the previous premier ends automatically, although re-election by the new Federal Chamber is possible.

Vice Premier

The Vice Premier of Besmenia is the deputy to the Besmenian head of government. The premier appoints a federal minister as his deputy without the participation of the president. The vice premier is usually a member of the small coalition partner, and is also its most important politician. The vice premier only assumes the function of prime minister and not the office itself. If the prime minister's term of office ends prematurely (e.g. resignation or death), the vice premier assumes the function and duties for a short period until a new premier is appointed would. This happened in 1962 with the resignation of Günther Brecht, in 1991 with the assassination of Martin Beiter and most recently in 2011 with the resignation of Ursula Kummstein.

Residence

The Federal House

The premier's office and residence has been in the Federal House since 1973. The Federal House was built between 1969 and 1973 on Leina Island in the Mitte district in Laitstadt. After the construction was completed in May 1973, Robert Gleitzmann moved into the Federal House in September 1973 as the first premier. It replaced Bertrecht's Palace as the seat of the premier from 1920-1973.

The building also houses a private apartment for the premier and his family. The private apartment is voluntary, which means that the premier can decide for himself whether he will use it or not. So far Kurt Stöger, Theodor Sidemann and Richard Benkel have waived the private apartment of the Federal House. Martin Beiter only lived in the apartment during the week and spent the weekends with his family in Behringen.
