To be the Federal Chancellor it is not a requirement for the person to part of a Political Party, if the person is able to form a government from amongst the Members of Parliament, then the person can challenge the Majority Party for the Office of Chancellor. Such a challenge has not been held since 1921 and the move was seen as a controversial one among politicians.

Confidence

The Federal Chancellor has the right and authority to call for a vote of confidence in their government, if more than two-thirds of the Parliament vote in confidence of the current government then a mandate is still in power; however if the vote of confidence is ruled as a no confidence vote then the President can be asked by the President of the Alþingi to dissolve the Alþingi and call for fresh Parliamentary Elections. No political party may override this procedure with internal politics of the political party, if a vote of no confidence in the government is found then an election is required to be held.

The State Palace is a old Royal Palace used by the Kings and Queens of Hveradalur and Ahrana as a country retreat from the public eye. The building was built between 1700 to 1731 for Royal and Imperial use. When Hveradalur gained its Independence the Ahranaian Royal Family lived in exile for some time in the palace till being moved to the Republic of Stemas where they spent the rest of their exile.

The Private Residence is also State Owned and has been used by the Office of Chancellor since the first devolved government was formed in Hveradalur in 1802 under Ahranaian rule. This Palace now called Residence was official built as the country estate of an Ahranaian Noble who fell from grace from the Ahranaian Monarch and was killed in battle. Today the Estate has remained unchanged except for the gardens that litter the estate grounds.
