Federal Cabinet of Aurinia
The Federal Cabinet of Aurinia is a body made up of the prime minister of Aurinia and the heads of the executive departments in the federal government of Aurinia. It is an advisory body to the President of Aurinia, who may preside over meetings, although he is not formally a member of the Cabinet. The President may also appoint heads of other agencies and members of the Executive Office of the President not confirmed by the Senate as members of the Cabinet.
The Cabinet is composed of TBA members (TBA, including the prime minister): 15 department heads and TBA Cabinet-level members, all of whom, except two, require Senate confirmation. The Cabinet meets in the room adjacent to the Round Office.
Cabinet members serve at the pleasure of the Prime Minister, who may dismiss them at any time or reduce their Cabinet membership status without the approval of the Senate. Like all federal public officials, Cabinet members are subject to impeachment by the House of Representatives and trial by the Senate for "high treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanours".
The Aurinian Constitution stipulates that the Cabinet is a consultative council with no executive powers of its own. Moreover, it also provides that Vice President is, together with the heads of executive departments and the prime minister, authorized to declare the President "incapable of discharging the powers and duties of his office". The heads of executive departments are, if eligible, in the presidential line of succession.
