United States Secretary

An United States Commissioner is a Member of the nine-Member Federal Executive Council (FEC) of the United States. Of the nine Members, eight of them are United States Commissioners, while the ninth is the Governor-General of the United States, who serves as the President of the FEC. Each of the eight United States Commissioners heads one of the eight Federal Executive Departments, which, together with the Office of Governor-General, forms the Executive Department of the Government of the United States; while the Federal Executive Council serves primarily as the Governor-General’s “Cabinet”.

United States Commissioners are styled, “United States Commissioner for (Portfolio)”; however, of the eight U.S. Commissioners, two of them receive titles other than “United States Commissioner”, they being the [U.S.] Attorney-General (Head of the United States Department of the Attorney-General) and the [U.S.] Postmaster-General (Head of the United States Department of the Post Office).

Appointment and tenure
The Post of U.S. Commissioner is an appointed Position, whereby the Governor-General nominates and, by and with the Advice and Consent of the United States Senate, appoints each of them; and each serves at the Pleasure of the Governor-General.

Oath
Before they may enter into the Powers and Duties of an United States Commissioner, each of them must Swear an Oath to, “[p]reserve, protect, and defend the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for the United States, from all Enemies, foreign and domestic;” swear that they will “bear true Faith and Allegiance” to the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for the United States; and must further swear that they “take [the] Oath freely, without any mental Reservation or Purpose of Evasion” —essentially the same Oath as that for the Office of Governor-General.
