The Chancellor of the Duchy of Rhöntal (known in German as Kanzler for short) is, under the Rhöntal constitution, the head of government of Rhöntal. The chancellor choses the ministers who are then appointed by the monarch. He controls the compliance of the cabinet to the guidelines set by him. Constitutionally the chancellor is the second most powerful person, however in the order of precedence he ranks behind members of the ducal family, the Archbishop of Firmar and the Hereditary Stadholder. A new chancellor is suggested by Parliament to the monarch who than appoints the nominee. Only reasonable mistrust in form of a constructive vote of no confidence can move the monarch to appoint a new chancellor before the end of the ongoing legislative period.
