It is led by the President and it is where all internal and external policies are developed. It is composed of Commissioners which are heading Departments. The Vice-President is also a member of the Republican Commission.

The Commission is responsible for the execution of the laws adopted by the Congress of the Republic and to adopt any rules or directives necessary for the application of the laws. It determines the internal and external policies of the Republic of Anserisa.

The President being appointed by the Congress and the members of the Commission being appointed by the President, the Commission is responsible to the Congress of the Republic but the Commission has the power to convene and to dissolve the Congress which puts the two organs in a delicate balance of powers.

The Republican Commission was previously called, the President's Council until 1947, with the passage of the Anserisan Commissioners Act, which established formally the definition and the roles of the Commissioners and changed the name of the Council to the Commission.

Powers and functions

The Republican Commission has the powers over the policy of the Republic of Anserisa and the application of the laws. It is however not in charge of the budget and thus must negotiate with the Congress of the Republic for the allocation of the budget to be aligned with the policies of the Commission.

It is also responsible for the organization of elections in Anserisa and for the dissolution of the Congress. The Congress being responsible for the nomination of the President and its revocation, there is a delicate balance of power that is part of the democratic culture of Anserisa.

The Commission is also in charge of the nominations in the public administration, mostly the heads of the different Secretariats, Offices and Administrations of Anserisa.

Except for the President and the Vice-President, the Commissioners are not necessarily members of a political party or even affiliated with a political party. Commissioners are mostly nominated on the basis of their educational background, but they still tend to be aligned politically with the President, even if they are not officially affiliated.

Departments

The Departments of Anserisa are the first sub-division of the executive branch, each Department is headed by a Commissioner.
