Description
Under Article 90 of the Constitution of the Third Republic, [1] [2] the government is composed of the Prime Minister, of ministers, of deputy ministers; and as the case may be, of deputy prime ministers, of ministers of state, and of minister delegates. The number of these ministers vary from one government to the next.
The government is headed by the Prime Minister, appointed by the President, from the political party, the group or the coalition that holds the majority of seats in the National Assembly, the lower chamber of Parliament..
The government is the effective executive arm of the state, in charge of all the country's main administration, in all the domains reserved to the central government by the constitution, and in all the domains in which the central government has concurrent jurisdiction with the provinces.
The government is accountable to the Parliament. Any individual member of the government, as well the entire government, can be censored by its lower-chamber, the National Assembly, through the vote of a motion of censure, or a motion of no-confidence. When the Prime minister is censured, the entire government is asked to step down. [3]
