Cabinet of New Europe

TheCabinet of New Europe (German: Reichskabinett) was the chief executive body of the Empire of New Europe. It consisted of the Chancellor and the cabinet ministers. The fundamentals of the cabinet's organization are set down in articles 17 and 18 of the Constitution of New Europe of 2011.

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

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