United States Federal Council

The Federal Council of the United States (: Bundesrat der Vereinigten Staaten; : Consejo Federal de los Estados Unidos Norte-Egeos; : Conseil fédéral des États-Unis de l'Egée du Nord), officially the Federal Council of the United States of North Aegea (: Bundesrat der Vereinigten Staaten von Nordägea; : Consejo Federal de los Estados Unidos Norte-Egeos; : Conseil fédéral des États-Unis de l'Egée du Nord), colloquially known as "[the] Bundesrat", and sometimes as the Board of Governors of the United States, is the eighteen-member council which constitutes the supreme federal authority of the United States and serves as the United States' collective head of state, of which the chief Executives of the United States –that is, the Governor-General of the United States and the Governor of each State is a member (the King in the case of Hawaiʻi), and the Bundesrat is presided by the Governor-General, who, by virtue of that office also serves as President of the United States Federal Council, and by extent as President of the United States, but he (or she) has no Vote unless they be equally divided; however, the President of the United States is a primus inter pares (first among equals) among the members of the Federal Council.

The Federal Council has a number of executive, legislative, and judicial powers, all of which are enumerated in great detail in Article II-E of the United States Constitution and the various Enabling Acts passed pursuant thereto by the Congress.

While the Federal Commission of the United States is responsible to the entire Bundesrat, each Member State delegation in the Bundesrat nominates, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the whole Bundesrat, appoints the Commissioner (Head) of the fœderal executive directorate-general over which they have oversight (there are eighteen directorates-general, one for each Member State). The Governor-General, as President of the Bundesrat, then nominates, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the whole Bundesrat, appoints the President of the Federal Commission; and together, he and the eighteen Commissioners compose the United States Federal Commission.

The official operating languages of the Bundesrat are, , and , but and  are also accepted languages, with the status of the latter two occasionally being referred to as being "unofficial[ly] official" operating languages of the U.S. Bundesrat. Despite this informal five-part language arrangement, the official titles (de jure) of the President of the Federal Council are only the Aegean, German, and Castilian, "President of the Federal Council", "Bundesratpräsident", and "[El] Presidente del Consejo Federal", respectively: However, following the informal rule of Québécois and Valois being "unofficial[ly] official" operating languages of the Bundesrat, it is not uncommon to read or hear the forms of that post in those languages also, namely, "Président du Conseil fédéral".

President
The Governor-General of the United States is the presiding officer of the Bundesrat, and in that capacity, the person serving as Governor-General is also, by virtue of that office, the President of the Federal Council (: Bundesratpräsident; : Président du Conseil fédéral; and : Presidente de Consejo Federal). The President of the Bundesrat has no voting rights except when the Bundesrat is equally divided (e.g., in order to break a hung Bundesrat ), and the post is oftentimes referred to as the "President of the United States", but the Bundesratpräsident has no more Power than the regular (State chief Executive) Members of the Bundesrat, and in that Manner, he is regarded as being primus inter pares relative to his eighteen State counterparts. XXXX

Members
The Bundesrat consists of nineteen Members, namely the eighteen State chief Executives (styled "Governor" in every State but Hawaiʻi, which instead a constitutional monarchy under a King) and the Governor-General of the United States.
