The Council of Ministers (Spanish: Consejo de Ministros), colloquially referred to as the Cabinet of Ministers (Spanish: Gabinete de Ministros), is the main collective decision-making body of the Government of Uruguay.[1] Convened and chaired by the President of the Republic, it is composed of the heads of the State ministries.
The members of the Cabinet, appointed by the president, take office on March 1, the same day as the presidential inauguration, and serve at the pleasure of the office.[2]
Meetings of the cabinet
[edit | edit source]Most cabinet meetings take place at the Executive Tower in Montevideo; however, they may also be held at the Suárez residence or at the Anchorena Presidential Estate in the Colonia Department.[3][4]
Composition
[edit | edit source]Legal framework
[edit | edit source]The composition of the Council of Ministers is established in Chapter II of Section IX of the Constitution of Uruguay. Composed of the ministers, it is presided over by the President of the Republic, who participates in deliberations and possesses a decisive vote in case of a tie, even if the tie results from their own vote.[5] The Council convenes whenever deemed appropriate or upon request by one or more ministers to address issues related to their portfolios, and meetings must take place within twenty-four hours of a request or on the date specified in the convocation.[6]
Sessions of the Council require the presence of a majority of its members, and decisions are made by an absolute majority of those present.[7] Deliberations can be terminated at any time by the same majority, without discussion of the motion.[6] All resolutions of the Council may be revoked by an absolute majority of its members, including those originally agreed upon between the President and the relevant minister(s) in a acuerdo de ministro.[A]
