-The Deputy Chancellorship Act of 544AER-

==Preamble:==
”The position of Deputy Chancellor has became of increasing importance in recent years with the growing need for coalitions to hold power. As this is the case we in the FFP feel an overwhelming need to clarify exactly what the position of Deputy Chancellor entails and what exactly its powers it holds."
==Clauses:==
I. The position of 'Deputy Imperial Chancellor' is a title used to denote the deputy leader of the Government.
II. Should anything happen to the Imperial Chancellor that renders him incapable or unable to fulfil his job* then the Deputy Chancellor has the full legal authority to act on behalf of the Government with the authority of the Chancellor.
III. Should the Chancellor die while serving their term of office the Deputy Chancellor can take over control of the Government with the consent of the Emperor and the ruling coalition. They shall then serve out the remaining term time of the previous Chancellor.
IV. The Deputy Chancellor is free to hold another Ministry portfolio should the Chancellor wish it.
V. The Deputy Chancellor also gets full access to Military and Government papers and correspondence on the same level as the Chancellor should Clause II come into effect.
This refers to situations where the Chancellor either becomes; severely ill to the point where he cannot attend his duties, contact is lost and his whereabouts are unattainable or should he die while in office.
