The Chancellor of Vilcasuamanas (Ruttish: Vilkasuamanos kancleris) is the head of state and the head of government of the Republic of Vilcasuamanas, as well as the commander-in-chief of the Vilcasuamanian Armed Forces. This unique fusion of powers, most similar to the Ordennyan model, is unlike most other parliamentary democracies in Kylaris. Usually the leader of the largest party or coalition in the Chamber of Deputies, the Chancellor is elected by the Seimas and confirmed by the Supreme Court. The Chancellor directs government policy through the Cabinet of Vilcasuamanas and through giving (or witholding) legislative assent. The Chamber of Deputies may remove the Chancellor with a vote of no-confidence, triggering a snap election.
The modern executive office of Chancellor was created in 1863 following the Second Vilcasuamanian Civil War, although the position itself has existed since 1815. Since that time, there have been 47 individuals that have held the office, as well as at least five others which have held corresponding positions. The longest-serving Chancellor was Marshal Mauricijus Sprogys, who served 19 years, 4 months and 28 days from 1959 to 1978; the longest-serving democratically-elected Chancellor was Laimis Petrosiumas (1874-1882), at 8 years and 24 days. The shortest serving chancellor was Vladas Strasunskas, who served 24 days in 1927.
The current Chancellor is Vytautas Kaparauskas, of the Sotirian Social Alliance, who has served since November 2015.
