Cabinet executives |
The Cabinet of the Chancellor of Drambenburg is a part of the executive branch of the Holy Empire of Drambenburg consisting of the Vice-Chancellor, Chief of Staff, and other ministers, directors, and secretaries. The Cabinet serves as the advisory body to the Chancellor of Drambenburg. Members are appointed by the Chancellor and confirmed by the Senate. Each member oversees a ministry, department, or comittee which shares responsibility of the duties of the executive under the chancellor's leadership.
The Constitution of Drambenburg does not explicitly establish a cabinet. However, the constitution does advise the chancellor to seek advice and input on decisions from people more versed in a topic than he (or she) is. The members of the cabinet serve at the will of the chancellor who can dismiss and appoint new members to the cabinet as he (or she) pleases. The chancellor also has the honor to establish new departments, offices, and ministries at the cabinet level, pending Senate aproval (See Holy Empire of Drambenburg v. Johann Kramer 1905).
Departments and Ministries
Under the cabinet members of the Cabinet of the Chancellor there are five departments, five ministries, two offices, and one agency. A department in Drambenburg is a large government organization which is granted law-making and enforcement capacities by the senate. A ministry is a large government orginaization without law-making capacities, but with law enforcing capacities. An office is a small government orginization, typically consisting of one officer and their own small staff with law-enforcing capacities, including the unique ability to investigate and overturn decisions passed by the chancellor. An agency in Drambenburg is a large government orginization with an express purpose; currently, the only agency is tasked with intelligence gathering.

Attorney General
The Attorney General of Drambenburg leads the Office of the Attorney General and is the primary peace and law officer of the Holy Empire of Drambenburg. The Attorney General serves as the principle advisor to the Chancellor on legal matters. The Attorney General is a unique member of the cabinet, serving on the Chancellor's cabinet, the Kaiser's staff, and the Prime Minister's staff. The chancellor cannot dismiss or appoint Attorney Generals like other members of the cabinet, but instead is appointed by the Kaiser. The Attorney General is not a part of the executive branch, but is instead under the Supreme Court. In addition to serving as a cabinet member, the Attorney General is the head of the Drambenburgian Marshals.
