Governor-General of Canada

The Governor-General of Canada, officially the “Governor-General and Prime Minister of the United Commonwealths of Canada”, is the head of state and government of the United Commonwealths of Canada. Appointed to office by the Federation Council of Canada (a body composed of the seventeen Commonwealth Governors), to a Term of four Years, the Governor-General and Prime Minister of Canada is usually, but not always, a Member of either the Canadian Senate or Canadian House of Commons; however, the person appointed Governor-General and Prime Minister must at all times during his tenure maintain the confidence of the House of Commons. To this end, the Federation Council appoints a person that can command the confidence of a majority of the House of Commons, though he need not be an actual member of the Commons, or even a legislator at all.
