Cabinet of the Eisenreich
The Cabinet of State (Ermanic: Staatskanzlei), otherwise known as the Cabinet, is regarded as the executive branch of the Eisenreich government, composed of the Chancellor and the most senior government ministers representing each governmental department.
Ministers are selected by the Chancellor. By convention the Chancellor selects members from the varying political parties from within the parliamentary bloc he or she represents. Usually the level of support each party has in parliament is taken into account when selecting a the composition of the council. Appointments to the Cabinet of State must be confirmed by a simple majority within the Landtag. Cabinet members serve as the head of a specific governmental department for which they are appointed and receive the official title Councilor of State (Staatsrat). The Cabinet generally evolved due to the expanding remit of the central government and the necessity for successive administrations to hold a greater degree of control over differing areas of society and the state. Most governmental decisions regarding legislation are drafted and discussed within the Cabinet before they are released to the floor of the Landtag. Official Cabinet sessions take place every Tuesday whilst the Landtag is in session. Members of the Cabinet are also bound by the convention of collective responsibility which ensures that decisions implemented hold the unanimous support of the Cabinet of State.
