Scope
The Federal Council is the supreme federal Institution in and of the United States. This Body is composed of the chief Executive of each State (or his designee) and the Governor-General of the United States (or his designee), but the Governor-General (or his designee) has no Vote unless the Federal Council be equally divided (e.g., the Governor-General or his designee cannot Vote except to break a tie). The Federal Council is part-Legislature, part-Executive, and part-Judiciary; and has various oversight Powers over the Congress, Governor-General, and Federal Court. 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. In exercising oversight over the Federal Court, the Federal Council can amend or even rescind or nullify decisions rendered by the Federal Court if, in their view, the Federal Court made a decision in error. As to oversight of all three Departments, the Federal Council sits as a Council of Censors, in which it can audit, investigate, reprimand, and censure Members of the legislative, executive, and judicial Departments of the United States Government.

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[en]; : 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 Bundesratspräsident 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, “President pro Tempore”, 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-presidents pro tempore, who play an advisory role and deputize in the President pro Tempore’s absence; the predecessor of the current President pro Tempore is first, his successor second Vice-President pro Tempore. 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.

Councils
The Federal Council may meet in various configurations, depending on the agenda of the day. Currently, there are NUM configurations, each dealing with a particular policy area as relates to the legislative Competence of the Union and the States. In their primary, plenary configuration, the Members of the Federal Council consists of the nineteen Federal and State chief Executives; but when meeting in any other configuration, the Members of that particular Council configuration are the Heads of State and Federal Agencies that correspond with the portfolio associated with such configuration.

The following are special configurations. As such, their membership is State and Federal, but the presiding Officer of each configuration is the Guardian of the Order of the Phoenix (an agency of the Allied Control Council, which is in turn an agency of the Magical Congress of the United States). These configurations are primarily oriented towards combatting corruption at all levels of Government, and suppressing National Progressive movements; and as such their presiding Officer is affiliated with neither the State or Federal governments. Unlike in other Council configurations, the presiding Officer in these does have actual executive and administrative Powers over their Council configuration:
 * Investigative Committee of the Federal Council — Composed of State and Federal investigative Committees (agencies tasked with suppressing and thwarting National Progressivism); chaired and directed by the Guardian of the Order of the Phoenix;

Secretariat
