As the Constitution states, “The Prime Minister is responsible for overseeing the regular activities of the Cabinet and co-ordinating the work of the Government Ministers”, it is confirmed that
- the responsibility of the Prime Minister therein is to the people of Austenasia,
- the Prime Minister has supervisory authority over the Cabinet, and
- the office of Prime Minister is the most senior office in the imperial government.
- Any official order issued to or action taken by an executive office or body must be first published in the form of a memorandum to be considered legal. Following promulgation, memoranda must be archived by the Secretary-General.
- A memorandum may be countermanded or belayed by a memorandum of a senior office.
- The Secretary-General shall, at the behest of the Committee on Administration, release all memoranda made during a past calendar month, or if the month is not yet complete, on the last day of that month.
- The House of Representatives reserves the privilege to issue a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister. An Act of Parliament to appoint an Acting Prime Minister shall also be considered a vote of no confidence.
- Should a vote of no confidence pass, a parallel motion to petition the Monarch to immediately call for a General Election is also issued.
