Chancellor of the Federal Senate of Huria

The Chancellor of the Federal Senate of Huria (Swahili: Kansela wa Seneti ya Shirikisho la Hurian Shirikisho) is the presiding officer of the legislative branch of the Hurian government. The office was established in 11 May 1891, and as stated by the Charter of Huria, "The Federal Senate shall choose its Chancellor..." The current chancellor is Josephine Williams, a member of the Kukana Party who represents Nyanda's Kimbilio district. The chancellor must be a member of a Federal Senate to apply for the position, and requires two-thirds of the senate's votes to win the position, or must be appointed by the Supreme Commander.
The Chancellor speaks on behalf of the Federal Senate of the Hurian Federation, which presents proposals for laws and regulations for the nation, and give a the sectors within Huria a voice, however weak that voice may be. Unlike in other nations where the speaker of their legislatures are often considered non-partisan, the Chancellorship is a leadership position of the majority party, and provides much weight in that party's demands; thus given the office much political power. The Chancellor does not typically need to personally preside over a debate within the Federal Senate, though by priciple they often do.
The Chancellor is considered the fourth-most powerful person in Huria, for control of the position means control over the represenatives of the Hurian sectors, who hold much weight in their respective areas. However, the Chancellor is also considered to be very much a paper dragon, for he/she cannot really do much to challenge the Supreme Commander or his subordinates. Huria being a stratocracy means that every political office is in fact a military posting, and with the Supreme Commander at the top of chain of command, all other politicial positions are under his command, including the Chancellor and the represenatives.
