The Chancellor of Vierzland (Vierz: Kanzler Vierzlands), officially the Chancellor of the Vierz Federation (Vierz: Kanzler der Vierze Föderation), is the head of state and head of government of Vierzland.
The constitution ordains the appointment of the Chancellor by a simple majority vote in the Federal Assembly. The Chancellor is the head of the executive branch as chairperson of the Federal Council.
Chancellors may serve a maximum of three, five-year terms, consecutive or nonconsecutive. It is a historical convention that the Chancellor also be a member of the legislature; this norm has only been broken three times with the chancelleries of Hermann Eschau, Helmut Bergmann, and Stefan Vogt.
In the Vierz Empire, the Reichskanzler (Reich Chancellor) was normally elected by the Imperial Assembly and approved by the Kaiser. The de facto power of the Chancellor, referred to as Kanzlerswirksamkeit ("Chancellor's efficacy/effectiveness"), varied considerably over the course of the empire's lifespan, with some Chancellors more subordinate to the Kaiser and others more independent and authoritative.
The current Chancellor is Kaspar Vahl, who is serving his second term in office after the 2017 elections. Klemens Brandt is the current Deputy Chancellor.
