The Federal Council of Enchenia (Chinese: 英雪尼亞聯邦委員會) is the federal cabinet of the Federation of Enchenia. As of 2023, it consists of 5 Federal Councillors. According to Article 56 of the Constitution, the size of the Federal Council may fluctuate between four and seven, depending on the election results from the previous year.
The President of Enchenia chairs the council, but exercises no particular authority; rather, the position is one of a first among equals and rotates among the Federal Councillors annually.
The Federal Council is elected as a body by the members of the Parliament of Enchenia for a term of one year after each election held in the fourth quarter of each year.
Responsibilities
The Federal Council is the supreme executive authority in the country. It consists of four to seven Federal Councillors. Unlike its counterpart in Switzerland, the number Federal Councillors could change from year to year, depending on the election results from the 4th quarter of the previous year. Each Federal Councillor has equal power and no one is considered "more superior" than others. According to Annex I to the Constitution, the Federal Council Election is held in the fourth quarter of each year. Federal Councillors are elected by the Parliament and serve their terms from 1 January to 31 December of the following year.
On 1 January of each year, new Federal Councillors assume their office and choose one Federal Councillor to be the President of Enchenia. The position of the President is ceremonial and has no additional executive power. The President is prohibited to serve consecutive terms. Once elected, Federal Councillors are immune from being removed from office. However, if a Federal Councillor violates the law, other Federal Councillors may invoke Article 34 of the Constitution to deprive their citizenship, thus also removing them from office.
