Swiss Federal Council

A week or so ago, I've extensively expanded this article and would welcome your comments. I know that sources are lacking, but these are hard to come by in English on topics such as these. I'll endeavour to find more, though, including print sources. Sandstein 09:26, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• It'll need those pesky references for FA, though there's nothing against citing from [1] ;) --PopUpPirate 00:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I believe the additions are very informative. Nevertheless, I have some minor complaints: (i) One small mistake: There are two vice chancellors (no mention of Corina Casanova).[2] (ii) Could you provide some examples for the "numerous constitutional conventions"? (iii) Regarding the immunity of the Councillors: One should also mention the responsibilty of the Councillors for crimes committed in connection with their office (article 14 of the Verantwortlichkeitsgesetz).[3]--Idefix 20:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you for the useful input. I've tried to address all three points by extending the article accordingly. Sandstein 21:32, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

• there's nothing about the origins/history of the council! Circeus 01:10, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you for the input. I'll try to address this. As to origins, I don't think there is much to say: it's an office created by the 1848 Federal Constitution. The history, on the other hand, is lacking in the article. Sandstein 05:26, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I don't think there is much to say: it's an office created by the 1848 Federal Constitution. Then that should be clearly stated in the article. (though Imostly skimmed,so imight have missedit)
    • Well, it turns out that there were three paragraphs to be written about the origins after all. Next, history... Sandstein 16:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
