Premier of the Senate
The Premier of America, previously titled President of the Senate, is a chief Legislative position and chief orator of the Senate. Appointed by the Chancellor of America, the Premier is first in line of succession to the office, only position above the Speaker of the Assembly.
Though the Premier's responsibilities are few in the Constitution, Premier Elbridge Gerry expanded the role and responsibilities of the office.
The Premier has been the role of "king maker" within the Kingdom of America, wherein most elections, being split between three major parties, one party rarely gets a solid majority by itself. Instead, a coalition is needed in order to gain the office, and this is most commonly solidified by making the candidate of an opposing party as the Premier. This is why most Chancellors have a Premeir from an opposing party, but one that closest alligns with the Chancellor's policies. One notable exception was Chancellor Sir Robert E. Lee, whose reputation and popularity saw him win the majority, deciding on John P. Hale for the Premier.
Following the death of Chancellor Hale, the Premier was not selected to take over the duties of the Chancellor. Instead, since there was limited time before the election, it was decided the Cabinet would resume duties while the official office was vacant.
I was going to ask if it was like Speaker of the House, but then you already addressed it! This sounds like a good, balanced system.
Thank you! It’s actually the Vice President if we compare the role to modern times.
