Appointment

The Prime Minister is appointed by the National Assembly on the decision of the President of Guadajara, who in theory can choose anyone for the post. As the National Assembly has the power to force the government to resign by passing a vote of no confidence, the choice of Prime Minister must reflect the will of the majority of the National Assembly. The President may also call for the resignation of the Prime Minister.

While prime ministers are usually chosen from amongst the ranks of the National Assembly, on rare occasions the president has selected a non-officeholder because of their experience in bureaucracy or foreign service, or their success in business management, most notably ???, who served as Prime Minister from 20?? to 20?? without ever having held elected office.
