Tanaiste- The Tanaiste is the internal affairs leader of the alliance. He is responsible ensuring all interior departments run efficiently. The Tanaiste also oversees the electoral process for the alliance, within the Oireachtas. He is the sole tie breaker if any vote ends up in a tie! The Tanaiste is the 2nd in command. He can do everything the Taoiseach can do power wise, but declare war. Term Limits: The Taoiseach serves for life or until resignation. The Tanaiste serves for life, or until resignation.
