Cabinet of Tavaris: Difference between revisions

Cabinet is presided over by the Prime Minister. The legal name of the position, in Acronian, is ''Nís Tašrivandrak'', meaning "Chief Administrator." The Staynish term "Prime Minister" was informally used from the creation of the office in 1790, and was formally adopted by statute in 1954. The position was envisioned by the authors of the Instruments of Governance to be a standalone, first-among-equals position, in which the Prime Minister led the meetings of Cabinet but was otherwise equal in power to the other ministers. Convention has since shifted, and Prime Ministers are generally considered to be the most powerful member of Cabinet and often hold other portfolios in addition to Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is appointed by the King, who is obligated under the Instruments of Government to select the individual "commanding the confidence of the houses of Parliament." The King then appoints the other members of the Cabinet on the advice of the Prime Minister. The only requirement for the office is that one be a Member of Parliament, though to be a Member of Parliament one must be an Acronian citizen aged 21 or older without any felony convictions.
