The Republican Commission (Anserisan: Commissia Republicana) is the executive branch of the Republic of Anserisa. 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[1].
Members
- Main article: Commissioners of Anserisa
Except for the President which is appointed by the Congress of the Republic, all the members of the Republican Commission are appointed by the President. All the nominations must be approved by the Council of Regions before being official. The President has no veto rights over the disapproval of the Council of Regions. They hold the right to use the post-nominal letters CR for life.
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
- Main article : Departments of Anserisa
The Departments of Anserisa are the first sub-division of the executive branch, each Department is headed by a Commissioner. The Departments are established by the Constitution of Anserisa and they can only be modified by a constitutional modification. Within the Departments, there are Secretariats, the second sub-division of the public administration of Anserisa. They are established collectively by the Republican Commission in-session. Secretariats can be the only division but most Secretariats are divided in Offices, which is the third sub-division of the public administration, their number is established by the Commissioner in charge of the Department and doesn't require the approbation of the Republican Commission, although it is generally decided collectively to modify the number of Offices. The last sub-division of the public administration are the Administrations, they are generally decided by the Commissioner in charge of the Department, especially for the creation of Administrations, the removal or merger of Administrations are also generally decided collectively even if the Constitution gives the powers to the Commissioners.
Republican Commission Building
The Republican Commission is meeting in the Republican Commission Building which is housing the Chamber of the Commission and all the Departments offices. Some key Secretaries are also found in the complex, which was build in 1995.
The Chamber of the Republican Commission is quite unique for it is a replica of the former throne room of Prince Stéphano I at the Princely Palace of Castorida. It was done to preserve the heritage of the original room which is now preserved and part of a museum on-site.
