History
PredecessorCabinet of Fratanica

The Executive Council of Fratanica is the main executive governing body in Fratanica. The body is composed of 15 ministers, as well as external observers. The body was established in the Constitution of Fratanica in mid-1941, with the Prime Minister as the head of government and answering solely to the National Assembly.

Ministers within the body can be dismissed by the Prime Minister, but not the President. Individual ministers can also be removed by the National Assembly.

The Prime Minister is appointed by the President of Fratanica. The Prime Minister may only be dismissed by the National Assembly through a vote of no confidence or through impeachment. Unlike a vote of no confidence, impeachment both removes the Prime Minister from office and indicts them for misconduct.

Process of Nomination and Appointment

The nomination process for federal ministers is conducted by the President of Fratanica, with advice from the prime minister. In theory, the President may choose to appoint anybody he wants for those positions. However, due to the necessity for majority parliamentary support, the President often appoints a person after consulting with the Cabinet. He then issues a letter of appointment to the National Assembly. Once this is done, the National Assembly must take the appointment. The appropriate committee conducts exploratory hearings for the appointee. They are then put to a vote. If a simple majority approves of the appointment, they are appointed to the position. Otherwise, the National Assembly sends back the appointment and requests for a new appointment.

If the minister is approved by the National Assembly, they will take an oath of office in front of its members. Afterwards, they will visit the Presidential Palace and receive a certificate of appointment from the President, completing the process of appointment.

In the case of the prime minister, the President sends a letter of recommendation to the National Assembly. The National Assembly may choose to ignore this letter of recommendation, and instead send up an interim prime minister for 14 days. Parties will have 14 days to send up a candidate for Prime Minister and vote on them with a majority. Without a majority, the President can send forth another candidate, accept the candidate with a plurality of the vote, or dissolve the National Assembly. If they accept it, they must conduct exploratory hearings, and then put them up to a majority vote.

The new Prime Minister first takes the oath of office, conducted by the President of the Supreme Court. They will then head to the Ilias Residence, receive a certificate of appointment, and then convene a Cabinet meeting with members of the interim cabinet, put forth by the Prime Minister's party. Interim cabinet members may stand for up to 60 days, after which a new interim cabinet must be created. The Prime Minister will later consult the President to appoint permanent ministers of the cabinet.
