Selection of Chancellor
The Selection of Chancellor of America is mostly a symbolic ritual, done so by the King of America. The selection process is done via a national election, wherein the political party, predominantly from the Unionist, Libertarian, or Whig Parties, nominate their own candidate, and the candidate that receives the majority of electoral votes is declared the winner. If no candidate wins the majority, it is tradition that whoever wins second is also selected by the Chancellor to become the Premier of the Senate, thus combining electoral votes. The King reserves the right to reject the winner, though this has never happened and is seen have causing a constitutional crisis.
History
From the very start, it was determined that the role of monarch of the United States would share executive authority with an elected official. This was seen as similar to the role of Prime Minister in Great Britain, but with greater authority. However, King Henry I recommended the title be named "Chancellor" after his home nation of Prussia and the German States, as well as to differentiate the roles from that of the British. The very first selection of Chancellor came as the Congress of the United States unanimously elected George Washington for the role of Chancellor. King Henry agreed without hesitation, and the two worked diligently to set a standard of conduct for the roles of chancellor and monarch respectively, as well as their cooperation.
Execution
With the election concluding, the votes are verified by the sitting Premier, and confirmed by the Senate. The official results are then sent to the monarch, who gives consent or rebuttal. If granted consent, the name is officially called out from Columbia Palace.
In the event that the Chancellor loses the favor of the people or the monarch, such as the case of King Augustus II towards William H. Crawford, Congress may impeach the chancellor, requesting the monarch dismiss them.
