The Prime Minister of the Republic of Saint-Jean-Baptiste (Principean: Premier ministre de la République de Saint-Jean-Baptiste) is the head of government of Saint-Baptiste. Since the adoption of Saint-Baptiste's 1990 constitution, the Prime Minister takes the role of equal partner alongside the President. The current Prime Minister is Marc-Antoine Vernier, since 2010.
History and role
The role of Prime Minister originated in Saint-Baptiste's 1990 constitution, which re-established democracy in the island state and reformed authority away from the President and towards the Chamber of Deputies. As such, the position of Prime Minister gained control over most legislative functions, and officially heads the Cabinet, which they appoint. The Prime Minister, as leader of the government, sets out the country's policies and goals for the Chamber's term, as well as providing leadership in the country's day-to-day administration.
A perspective Prime Minister is first nominated by the Chamber of Deputies, in all prior cases from the largest party in the legislature. The nominated candidate is then officially appointed by the president to form a government. A governing cabinet is then selected by the Prime Minister and granted support by the Chamber. As much of the Prime Minister's power is kept by having majority support in the Chamber of Deputies, a failure to keep that support can mean a vote of no confidence in a Prime Minister and the resignation of the cabinet, including the possibility of a snap election if a government cannot be formed in twelve days.
