The Chancellor of Libertas Omnium Maximus is the head of legislature for the Maximusian Republic. The Chancellorship is considered the second highest office in Maximusian government, behind only the President. Presiding over the General Assembly, the Chancellor sets the legislative agenda and refers passed legislative initiatives to the Provincial Council for review. The Chancellor, elected by the General Assembly via majority vote, must be a sitting member of the General Assembly, and holds the Chancellorship concurrently with his or her elected seat. As a result, Chancellors generally come from the majority party or coalition, though this does not have to be the case. The Chancellor can be dismissed at any time through a motion-of-no-confidence. Today, the Chancellorship is occupied by Progressive Edward Banks, who replaced Joseph Waylon in 2020 after Progressives stripped the Conservatives of their plurality earlier that year.
