The '''Prime Minister of Valoria''' (French: ''Premier Ministre de la Valorie''), sometimes referred to as the '''Timekeeper''' (''Chronométreu[r/se]''), is the head of government of [[Republic of Valoria|Valoria]].

Originally created in 1762, the premiership under its current form dates back to the founding of the [[Second Republic of Valoria|Second Republic]] in 2014. The prime minister oversees their [[Prime Ministerial Cabinet|cabinet]], which includes the heads of the ministries of [[Ministry of Finance|Finance]], [[Ministry of Education|Education]], [[Ministry of Labor|Labor]], [[Ministry of Health|Health]], [[Ministry of Justice|Justice]], and [[Ministry of the Interior|the Interior]], as well as a number of independent government agencies, such as the [[Valorian Environmental Agency|VEA]].

The prime minister is of equal official rank to the [[President of Valoria|president]], with whom they share the [[Executive Mansion]], their official residence. The prime minister's office is located in the West Wing, a term which has since become synonymous with the office.

Since February 1st, 2024, the office has been held by [[Valerie Minerva]].

==== Appointments ====
The prime minister of Valoria is personally responsible for over two thousand government appointments. Most, but not all, of these appointments are made unilaterally, without confirmation by the National Assembly or another body. Most notably, the prime minister's cabinet choices do not need confirmation by the National Assembly. 

=== Parliamentary Powers ===

=== Political Powers ===

== Impeachment & Succession ==
The prime minister is impeachable by a two-thirds majority of the [[National Assembly of Valoria|National Assembly]]. Although motions of impeachment have been drafted against the majority of officeholders, no prime minister has ever been impeached.

Historically, three prime ministers have vacated office intra-term, although each via different method: [[Keith Hill]] (in office 1789–1790), who died from tuberculosis ten months into his term; [[Phillip Matthews]] (in office 1906–1910), who resigned a little over a year into his second term due to fractures in his party; and [[Charles Reynolds]] (in office 2010–2012), who was assassinated two years into his term.

In case of death, incapacitation, impeachment, or resignation, the prime minister is succeeded by the [[Deputy Prime Minister|deputy prime minister]] (although this has never occurred). Historically, before the position was created, the National Assembly was tasked with nominating a successor, with the [[Chairman of the National Assembly|chairman]] serving as acting prime minister in the interim.

== List of Prime Ministers ==
42 individuals have served as prime minister since Valoria's founding. [[Anthony Vanwall]], who served in a similar capacity before the office was established, from 1756 to 1762, was retroactively offered the title, however declined it. 4 have served non-consecutive terms: [[James Mansell]], [[Graham Coulthard]], [[Nathan Crawford]], and [[Nicholas Augustine]].

There are currently 5 living former officeholders: [[Steven Lawrence]], [[Eric Henderson]], [[Anthony Collins]], [[Julia Anne-Claire]], and [[Arthur Reinhardt]].
