The Chancellor of the Free City of Elstock (Elsian: Kanclerz Wòlnégò Gardu Elstók; Tyrnican: Kanzler der Freien Stadt Elstock) is the head of government of Elstock. The Chancellor heads the Elstocker government, and is considered the highest legislative position in the country. The current Chancellor is Josef Gottlieb, since 2017.
Role
The Chancellor's
The role of the Mayor-President is primarily ceremonial, acting as the most visible member in the Council of Elstock, which hold the majority of administrative power over the government. The Mayor-President is appointed by the Council during its first session after a general election, and typically is a senior member from the largest political party in the Council, or a party leader. The Mayor-President can resign voluntary or be forced to resign from their position at any time if they lose support in the Council. The position comes with the ability to use a tie-breaking vote if a tie occurs in the Council while voting on bills and policy, but otherwise the Mayor-President de jure retains the rights and responsibilities of a Councilor, following the convention of first among equals.
Unofficially, the position of Mayor-President can have influence on policy and decision-making in the Council, and the position has been leveraged to expand beyond the constitutional restraints of the position, such as Léch Hersz's attempted reforms in 2010 to bring the position closer to that of a prime minister. Since Elstock's independence and the creation of the role of Mayor-President in 2000, debate has occurred on how much influence the Mayor-President has over the Council, with often conflicting opinions between politicians and policy-makers.
