Ministries of Grand Besaid

The Ministries of Grand Besaid represent the core of the bureacracy of Grand Besaid, and their respective ministers represent the core of the executive cabinent of the nation. The Ministries run the day-to-day operations of the Grand Besaidian government, and create regulations that build upon laws passed by the National Assembly of Grand Besaid.

Appointment of Ministers
Ministers are the heads of the ministries, and are nominated by the President and approved by both houses of the National Assembly. This causes many ministers to either come from the dominant party in the federal government, or be more moderate in their nature.

Currently, because of the current President's lack of a political party, there are a number of parties represented in the upper echelons of Ministries of Grand Besaid. There is also a movement to create a law barring a single political party from possessing the majority of seats on the ministerial council and any ministerial commission in order to prevent partisanism from disrupting the ministries.

Ministry Organization and Operation
Each ministry is headed by its respective minister (ie. the Ministry of Defense is headed by the Minister of Defense), and a Ministerial Commission. While ministers are nominated by the President and approved by the National Assembly, members of ministerial commissions are partially elected by the national electorate and partially appointed by the President and the National Assembly. Currently, ministerial commissions consist of eleven members and their minister; ministers are the presiding officers of their ministerial commissions.

In order for a new regulation to come into effect, a commission must pass it with at least a seven-twelveths vote. New regulations do not come into effect for a period of one-hundred twenty days, unless the National Assembly approves them before the one-hundred twenty day period is up. During the one-hundred twenty day period, both the National Assembly and the National Electorate may veto the regulation; the President may also veto it, though his veto can be struck down by the National Assembly. Regulations cannot be radical, and face stricter scrutiny in court than regular laws do.

Ministers and their commissions hire the majority of high and mid-level staff not appointed by the President or National Assembly, or elected by the people. Ministers and their commissions also direct the operations of their ministry and overview the audits of their ministry. Ministers and their commissions are directly responsible to both the President and the National Assembly.

Ministreial Council and Executive Cabinet
The Ministerial Council

The current executive cabinet consists of every minister, the Vice President, the, the Manager of the Executive Budget Office, the Grand Besaidian Trade Representative, and the most senior or  in the nation. However, the last position is a mostly honorific one set by precedent more than by law, since clergy of the Catholic Church cannot hold a political office.
