Coadjutor of Earth

The Coadjutor of Earth is the head of government of the Commonwealth of Earth. He takes the role of a Consul found on other commonwealths. Nominally, the Chancellor of the Republic serves as Earth's Consul. Traditionally, the Chancellor nominates the majority leader in Earth's Assembly to serve as his Coadjutor, ie. to be Consul in his stead. In practice however, the Chancellor has little to no choice in which Coadjutor he will choose, and has little to no oversight as to his work. This has made the nomination of a Coadjutor a largely ceremonial process.
