The Chancellor is elected by popular vote. Following the election, the Chancellor has one week to organize his or her cabinet. The ministers are appointed (and dismissed) Chancellor. Eventually, before taking office, the Chancellor and ministers swear an oath in front of the Reichstag before the Emperor.

Functioning

The Chancellor is responsible for guiding the cabinet and deciding its political direction. According to the principle of departmentalization, the cabinet ministers are free to carry out their duties independently within the boundaries set by the Chancellor's political directives. The Chancellor also decides the scope of each minister's duties. If two ministers disagree on a particular point, the cabinet resolves the conflict by a majority vote.
