President Of Austria
The president of Austria (german: Bundespräsident der Republik Österreich) is the head of state of the Republic of Austria. Though theoretically entrusted with great power by the Constitution, in practice the president is largely a ceremonial and symbolic figurehead. The office of the president was established in 1920 following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Habsburg monarchy in 1918. As head of state, the president succeeded the chair of the Constituent Assembly, the post-monarchic provisional legislature. Originally intended to be chosen directly by the Austrian people through universal suffrage every six years, the president was instead appointed by the legislative Federal Assembly until 1951, when Theodor Körner became the first popularly-elected president. Since the institution of the popular vote, only nominees of the Social Democratic Party and the People's Party had been elected to the presidency, with the exception of the Green-endorsed incumb ...

Minister (Austria)
In Austria, a minister (german: Bundesminister, lit=federal minister) is a member of the Cabinet that usually leads a ministry or a division of the Chancellery. Most ministers are responsible for a specific area of public administration. Ministers without portfolio exist and used to be common under the First Austrian Republic but are rare today. A minister is the supreme executive organ within their area of responsibility. Ministers do not report to the either the president or the chancellor. Their decisions are subject to judicial review but cannot be overruled by any other part of the executive branch. Terminology The Federal Constitutional Law, the centerpiece of the Austrian Constitution, states that "the Cabinet consists of the chancellor, the vice chancellor, and the other ministers". Legally, the terms "minister" and "member of Cabinet" are interchangeable. However, the general public usually does not think of the chancellor and the vice chancellor as ministers. I ...

Federal Ministry For Arts, Culture, The Civil Service And Sport
The Ministry of the Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport (German: ''Bundesministerium für Kunst, Kultur, öffentlichen Dienst und Sport'' or ''BMKÖDS'') is the government ministry of Austria in charge of the arts and sport as well as public administration and personnel questions that do not fall within the jurisdiction of another ministry. It bears responsibility for the management of museums and theatres, the maintenance of landmarks and historical sites, and the promotion of Austrian cinema. History Even though the Republic of Austria has always had a large public sector and a considerable number of career civil servants, the country does not usually maintain a dedicated civil service ministry. Traditionally, the interest of Austria's civil servants (''Beamte'') were protected by their strong union (the ''Beamtengewerkschaft'') and by the fact that civil servants were overrepresented among the upper ranks of every major political party. Public employment policy was s ...
