(c) Generally
The Chief Executive must give his/her consent in writing if any member of the legislature wishes to introduce any bill 'relating to government policies' a potentially all-encompassing prohibition.
The Chief Executive will not be democratically elected; rather he/she will be selected by an 'Election Committee' and appointed by Beijing.

(See paragraph 4.28 below.)

The Details

(a) The role of legislators
(b) The accountability of the executive
(c) Appointment of the Chief Executive
(d) Impeachment of the Chief Executive
(e) Election Practice
(f) Citizenship and representative institutions
(g) Citizenship duties and immigration
