What is Federal Council

edit

The Federal Council is the federal cabinet of the Daniel Confederation. Its eleven members also serve as the collective head of state and government of Danielland. Since after country independent, the Federal Council is by convention a permanent grand coalition government composed of representatives of the country's major parties and language regions.

While the entire Federal Council is responsible for leading the federal administration of Danielland, each Councillor heads one of the eleven federal executive departments. The President of the Daniel Confederation chairs the council, but exercises no particular authority; rather, the position is one of a first among equals and rotates among the eleven Councillors annually.

The Federal Council is elected as a body by the 246 members of the Federal Assembly of Danielland for a term of four years after each federal parliamentary election, without the possibility of recall or a vote of no confidence. Incumbents are not term-limited and are by convention almost always re-elected; most serve around 8 to 12 years in office.

The president of the Daniel Confederation, also known as the president of the confederation, federal president or colloquially as the president of Danielland, is the head of Danielland's eleven-member Federal Council, the country's Executive (government)|executive branch. Elected by the Federal Assembly for one year, the officeholder chairs the meetings of the Federal Council and undertakes special representational duties.

First among equals, the president of the Confederation has no powers over and above the other ten councillors and continues to head the assigned Ministry (government department)|department. Traditionally the duty rotates among the members in order of seniority; the vice president of the Federal Council assumes the presidency the year after the officeholder's tenure. The president of the Confederation is not the head of state because the entire Federal Council is the collective head of state.

Article 200 specifically relates to the presidency.

The current incumbent president is John Andrew, since 1 January 2024.
