The Vorsitzender is the head of government of the Abeldane Empire. It is the highest elected office in the Empire and is only one of the two directly elected offices at federal level aside from the Stellvertreter. The Vorsitzender is elected through federal elections, which in turn the Monarch appoints the newly elected Vorsitzender then takes office.

Originally known as the Prime Minister of the Abeldane Empire, the Vorsitzender has the task of heading the Reichsregierungskabinett, which consists of the ministerial departments and cabinet members as well as their secretariats, and making sure that the executive is delivering its functions properly and orderly. The Vorsitzender is also responsible for being questioned in the Reichsversammlung and delivering the current state of the government and its business.

The position of Vorsitzender is currently held by Anthony Clark, who heads the First Clark ministry.

Constitutional background and role

The main role of the Vorsitzender is to oversee the activities of the Cabinet and co-ordinate with the ministers and to act as the voice of the government to the public. The Vorsitzender has the power also to advice the Monarch on what to do and has the power to declare war, with gracious consent of the Monarch. The Vorsitzender has also the power to veto laws made by the Reichsversammlung. Following the federalisation of Abelden in June 2016, the Vorsitzender has the power to appoint his cabinet and to remove them at the same time.

The Vorsitzender is regarded as the second most powerful person in the Empire, after the Monarch. Previously, the Monarch was regarded as the most powerful person in the Empire but following the constitutional changes in 2016 and the federalisation of Abelden, the Vorsitzender has since then been considered a powerful figure within the Empire and the politics in both federal and at-state level.

Under the constitution, the deputy of the Vorsitzender is the Stellvertreter, who is formally called the Stellvertreter des Vorsitzender. The Stellvertreter is elected separately from the Vorsitzender and therefore there may be instances that two different parties may hold the positions together. He is responsible for acting on behalf of the Vorsitzender when he is on other business outside the Empire. The Stellvertreter succeeds the Vorsitzender if he resigns or is incapacitated/dead and one example can be that of Michael Thomas Brazeau. Following Henry Twain's resignation as Vorsitzender on 29 March 2017, Brazeau immediately assumed the office of the Vorsitzender and is not considered acting as he holds the right to hold the office until a general election is called by the Monarch, which he did a few days later and was succeeded by Patrick Renwick.

Election and term length

The Vorsitzender is usually elected during general elections alongside with the Stellvertreter. He/She may also be appointed or removed by the Monarch at his or her pleasure, with an approval from the Reichsversammlung. Elections are held every 4 months; 3 times a year: April, August, and December. The position of Vorsitzender and the Stellvertreter are the only positions directly elected at federal executive level; the rest of the government positions are appointed by the Monarch with the advice from the Reichsversammlung. Before August 2017, the office was among the only electable positions in the Empire, the other being the Stellvertreter.

The term length of the Vorsitzender is at His Imperial and Royal Exalted Majesty's pleasure and the same follows with his deputy, the Stellvertreter. While there is no term limit that is prescribed by law, three terms are the normal term limits. Patrick Renwick is currently the longest-serving Vorsitzender, serving for over 12 months.

Etymology

Originally, the position was officially known as Prime Minister and the deputy of the Prime Minister was official known as Deputy Prime Minister but following a reform, the offices were both renamed to Vorsitzender and Stellvertreter des Vorsitzender, respectively. The position was renamed on 14 July 2015 effectively in all places and all previous mentions of the word Prime Minister were either retained or renamed.
