Reichsregierung

The Council of State is the chief executive body of the Dominion of Bexar. It consists of the heads of the government departments.

Nomination
The heads of the government departments are appointed (and dismissed) by the President-General. Before taking office, each head swears an oath to the President-General.

Functioning
The President-General guides the Regency Council's political direction in accordance with his will. According to the principle of departmentalization, the ministers are free to carry out their duties independently within the boundaries set by the President-General's political directives. The President-General also decides the scope of each minister's duties. If two ministers disagree on a particular point, the President-General resolves the conflict by a unilateral decision.

The President-General is in charge of the government's administrative affairs, which are usually delegated to the Military Secretary. Details are laid down in the government's rules for internal procedures. The Council of State regularly convenes Wednesday mornings in the Tower.
