Sandbox:Epistalma

The Cabinet of the Empire (Magonian: Epistalma) is part of the executive branch of the government of The Empire, consisting of the highest ranking ministers of the Crown in the Parliament of the Empire. It is led by Consul Plebeius, who is the leader of the party with the majority in the Senate, and it is made up of senators (appointed by the Consul Plebeius) who exercise functions as Secretaries of State, whose responsibility is the leadership of government departments.

All members of the Epistalma must be approved by the Senate, according to the Constitution and its amendments. After being confirmed and having assumed their functions, they serve at the pleasure of the Consul Plebeius, who can remove them at will without the authorization of the Senate. A fundamental exception to this rule is when this decision is made against the popular will (as established in the Forty-second Imperial Law of 1721). In this case, the Senate has the obligation to initiate an investigation against the Consul and, if found guilty for the breach of this Imperial Law, he will be dismissed.

The Emperor, as well as the High Council, only have advisory power over this institution, and they have no authority to challenge its decisions (as long as they do not violate the Imperial Laws), according to the Promulgatio Democratiae of 1720.

The current Cabinet was formed by the consul Milo Antonius as of December 1, 2018, when he took office.
