In Ebenthal, a Chief Executive (Portuguese: Chefe Executivo) is the head official of a municipality. The officeholders are appointed by the King of Ebenthal according to municipal party representation in parliament, i.e., they must be from the party that represents (entirely or mostly) the municipality in parliament, or independent politicians.[a] Chief Executives are appointed to 1-year terms. Without the assistance of municipal chambers, Chief Executives are vested with the power to enact laws which, to be effective, must be approved by the parliamentary representatives. Chief Executives are also autonomously responsible for appointing town officers, department commissioners and board members and for enforcing town ordinances.
Despite concentrating many power, the extent of the Chief Executives' powers are put in check by constitutional mechanism, such as the fact that every legislative action by a Chief Executive must pass through the scrutiny of municipal parliamentary representatives to come into effect. Furthermore, because Ebenthal is a unitary state, the central government retains supreme political authority, including the power to suspend municipal legislation, create and extinguish municipalities and change their administrative structure.
There are currently eight Chief Executives governing the municipalities of Ebenthal. Formally, the office has no second-in-command, and in the event of the resignation or incapacitation of a Chief Executive, the Sovereign is free to appoint a new officeholder or return the administration of the municipality to the central government for the remainder of the resigning or incapacitated person's term.
Notes
- ↑ Constitutionally, the Sovereign is not necessarily obliged to appoint as Chief Executive a member of the same party or the majority party representing a municipality in parliament, and may appoint an independent politician instead. In the event that a municipality has an equal number of parliamentarians from different parties, the Sovereign is free to choose the Chief Executive.
