When My Majesty received your message requesting the honor of this high office, I called you to join My Majesty at the Palace in Nekhatw and sit before the throne of the Queen Ribrete, Justified, elected of My People to establish and found this, our country. As your host and guide, I traveled with you to the Necropolis of that Queen, the place called Ribreteper, and I showed you the most cherished things belonging to that Queen: the alters in the chapels of her Gods; the carvings of the monuments to her husband, Remptahhu Justified, and to her Son, Tutimaios Emperor Esintsundu, Life Prosperity Health, and to her daughter, Ajōrēshakheto; and the Constitution of our country, signed by that Queen's Majesty and given to My People to guard their liberty, security, and prosperity. Do you swear on your life and on the People that she lived? And then I took you with My Majesty to the Temple of Thousands of Years of Shelby of Aqqak in the Necropolis of Hermelinda Shelby Justified, who was given the office of President as an honor by My great-great-great grandmother-in-law, the Queen Ribrete Justified. There I showed you the Constitutional Convention negotiations that lady conducted with Sizwe Ihejerika Justified and his party, I showed you the records of her correspondence with the executives in support of our world class economy, I showed you the notes from her negotiations with the Royal Coalition in Cobura to aid them in avenging the death of My Royal Kinsman, the Lord Anwar Justified, you saw the records of her correspondence with the generals of the armed forces to plan the Tokundi War of Independence, and you saw there the records of the planning by her cabinet and foreign allies to lay the groundwork for the largest empire the world has seen, that dominion of the Emperor Tutimaios Saksoure VI Justified. I showed you these things because these were the most cherished belongings of this greatest of statewomen. Do you swear on your life and on the People that she lived? We traveled together to the Necropolis of the Prince Djhwtymesu Kheprims Justified, a Kinsman of My Majesty and the Prince Regent elected by my People as their head of state when the Queen Ribrete Justified had died. In his necropolis we saw the Small Chapel of Arkhē where the Prince studied the history and customs of My People and where he nursed an abiding love for our culture; and we visited the Chapel of Menes Atep of Nekhatw where the Cabinet Proposal by that Prince appointing Menes Atep Justified to the Presidency is kept and where the records of negotiations between those men and the Esinsundu governments, reviving their bonds and ensuring their defense for the sake of Taphmēi are preserved, because these were the most precious possessions of that Prince and that President whose creations endure forever. Do you swear on your life and on the People that they lived? And then you went with My Majesty to the Temple Archives at the Temple of Darian Chapman of Msxnt Inaat, the city where that President's necropolis is built.

All these things are the most cherished of President Chapman's possessions. Do you swear on your life and on the People that he lived? And you accompanied My Majesty to Aqqak, city of Splendor, to pay visit upon the Shrine of Eternity of Masud Minkah, Justified. The archivists there brought out all the records of the Presidency of that most exalted of men, who pleased the King's Majesty more than anyone. They showed us the laws and orders issuing from Prime Minister Minkah's office: restoring constitutional government for the good order of our kingdom, guarding the Nošep Throne and making it safe for the Majesty of the King Psammuthes Saksoure VII Justified to sit upon again, and repelling all manner of abomination and offense against the liberty and prosperity of the People.

For those laws were cherished above all things by that President and that Vice President whose creations endure forever. Do you swear on your life and on the People that they lived? And we visited the monuments and places erected in honor of the Queen Sonnefre and the Queen Cleo the Prince Regent Ameneman Kosey who battled mightily between themselves and with others over the legacy of this our beloved land. In those places, we read the records of the orders of those Queens and that Prince, chosen of the People, who re-instituted the elective monarchy, egalitarian, equal, and free, with dignity and majesty: the envy of all the world and the most cherished of belongings of those Queens and that Prince.

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
