The Vice Chancellor of the Divine Federation, also known as the Vice Chancellor of Sanctaria, is the deputy head of government of Sanctaria and the second-most senior officer in the Government of Sanctaria. The Vice Chancellor is appointed by the President of Sanctaria on the advice of the Chancellor. The current office holder is Josephine Chari-Jones, who was appointed on 14 December 2022.
Prior to federalisation on 01 January 2019, the office was called the Deputy Prime Minister of Sanctaria, or more formally, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Divine Republic.
Office[edit | edit source]
The office was created in 1974 under the Constitution of Sanctaria as the Deputy Prime Minister of the Divine Republic. It was first held by Xander Dylans of the Christian Union Party.
The Chancellor nominates a member of the House of Deputies, who will also be a member of the government, to the office. The President of Sanctaria then appoints the nominee to the office. Unlike nominees to be Secretaries of State, the Senate does not need to confirm the Chancellor's nominee for Vice Chancellor. The Vice Chancellor acts in place of the Chancellor during his or her temporary absence. In the event of a Chancellor's death or permanent incapacitation, the Vice Chancellor acts in their stead until another Chancellor is appointed. The Vice Chancellor chairs meetings of the government in the absence of the Chancellor, and may take questions on their behalf in either or both Houses of the federal Parliament.
Aside from these constitutional duties, the title is largely honorific. While the Chancellery is a government department under the Government Secretaries Acts 1974 to 2018, there is no such department for the Vice Chancellor; every Deputy Prime Minister or Vice Chancellor has, in parallel, held a secretarial portfolio as head of a government department.
In one-party governments, the Vice Chancellor is, by convention, the deputy leader of the party, however the Chancellor is free to choose whomever they wish to be their deputy. In coalition governments, the Vice Chancellor position is usually given to the leader of the second-largest government party.
