Line 20:
The Prime Minister has the duty to ensure that the Council of Ministers and the executive branch more broadly abide by the spirit and letter of the will of the Constitution, the Sultan and [[Paxism]]. This means that the advice that the Prime Minister provides to the Sultan and the expectations and directions he has of the Ministers must propagate and support the values of the Constitution and the [[Writings of Paxism]] as interpreted by the [[Magisterium of Paxism]]. But his exercise of these duties is not independent of the will of the Sultan regardless of his personal understanding of what it entails to abide by the Constitution and the religious laws of the country. The Prime Minister may authorise commissions of inquiry and provide reports to the Sultan on the running of the government. Furthermore, he must present the annual State of the Empire address to the Sultan and the Parliament.
The Prime Minister is ex officio the President of the Privy Council of the Kingdom of [[Drakkengard]]. This means that he chairs the Privy Council meetings whereat the Sultan (in his capacity as the King of Drakkengard) formally grants royal assent to laws passed by the Parliament of Drakkengard. In reality, he rarely exercises this role and thus the President pro tempore of the Privy Council is the Earl of Hadwan-Rabeen, the heir apparent to the Duchy of Vaskar. When a new Sultan and King comes to power, he will summon and preside over the Privy Council to symbolically acknowledge the accession of the new monarch.
