In its oversight of the Congress, it can [...]. As to its oversight of the Governor-General and Federal Executive, it can dismiss the Governor-General and his Administration if the chief Executives from two-thirds of the States pass a motion of no confidence in him or his Administration.

President
The Governor-General of the United States is the de jure presiding officer of the Federal Council, and in that capacity, the person serving as Governor-General is also, by virtue of that office, the President of the Federal Council (: Bundesratspräsident; : Presidente de Consejo Federal; and : Pelikikena o ka Pūkuʻi Pekelala o nā Mokuʻāina Huipū). As the President of the Federal Council, the Governor-General has no voting rights except when the Bundesrat is equally divided (e.g., in order to break a hung Federal Council ), and the Bundesratpräsident has no more Power than the regular (State chief Executive) Members of the Federal Council, and in that Manner, he is regarded as being primus inter pares relative to his eighteen State counterparts.

However, in practice, the actual role of presiding officer of the Federal Council rotates annually among the chief Executives of the respective States. This Officer, unofficially styled, “Chancellor”, convenes and chairs plenary sessions of the Federal Council and is formally responsible for representing the several United States in Matters of the Federal Council to the Government of the United States. He is aided by two vice-Chancellors, who play an advisory role and deputize in the Chancellor’s absence; the predecessor of the current Chancellor is first, his successor second vice-Chancellor. The three together make up the Federal Council’s executive committee.

Members
The Bundesrat consists of nineteen Members, namely the eighteen State chief Executives (styled “Governor” in every State but Hawaiʻi, which, as a constitutional monarchy, is led by a King) and the Governor-General of the United States.
