The Prime Minister holds the highest executive authority, being both the head of state and government. This official chairs cabinet meetings, nominates ministers, and issues Executive Orders.
The Prime Minister's responsibilities include assenting or vetoing legislation, issuing pardons, proposing legislation, making treaties, and appointing executive officers, ministers, judicial officers, and ambassadors. The Deputy Prime Minister can receive delegated powers, and in case of vacancy, the Prime Minister nominates a replacement for parliamentary approval. The Prime Minister may also hold a single cabinet position.
The Cabinet, consisting of the Deputy Prime Minister, Ministers, Attorney General, and other executive officers whenever deemed necessary, has authority over specific departments. Ministers lead their respective departments, formulate policies, appoint and remove department members, and manage relevant tasks. The Departments include State, Economy, Justice, Public Affairs, and Internal Development.
The Constitution emphasizes the authority of departments, subject to legislative oversight and Parliament's ability to delegate or retract additional powers. All ministers are under the direct control of the Prime Minister, and other executive officers can join the Cabinet with parliamentary consent.
The Office of the Attorney General is an independent entity responsible for representing national interests, offering legal counsel, and investigating high crimes and misdemeanors. The Chief Justice oversees the judiciary, which includes the Supreme Court with the power of judicial review.
