The Chancellor shall maintain use of all the authorities (Appearance, Border Control, Communications, Embassies, Executive, World Assembly and Polls). They must exercise World Assembly authority according to the World Delegate Act.

“The Silver Bloods”, and the Lord-Chancellor account shall maintain use of all powers except for World Assembly. Any of his/their powers may be stripped away, according to “The Lord-Chancellor Deposition Act”

A Regional Officer cannot use their power in a way that directly (or closely indirectly) violates the Constitution or the Law Code of the CFN. Any violation may result in the Officer being arrested and tried in criminal court.
