The Chief Vizier had appointed Viziers and their appointments had been assented to by the Pharaoh.
The Ma’at and Legal Code do not specify a term of office for the Viziers, except that the Chief Vizier serves a term of office of three months (Ma’at Article III, Sec 4 (2)), nor do they specify how these offices should be filled if vacated. Electoral law makes provisions for the replacement of any elected official who is removed from office (Legal Code Article II, Sec 1 (4)). The Viziers are appointed.
The Priests of Osiris agree that the Ma’at and Legal Code imply an intent for continuity of government. It is evident in the Legal Code Article II, Section 1 (4) , as presented in the question, and in Article III, which is all about continuity.
The Ma’at does not separate the functions of State and the Executive. Article III is titled State and Executive Government of the Osiris Fraternal Order, not or. The Council of Viziers serve in the name of and with the assent of the Pharaoh. Their presiding officer, the Chief Vizier, has been removed from office. In order that government continuity be preserved, and because the Pharaoh is the chief executive of The Osiris Fraternal Order, the Pharaoh shall serve as the Chief Vizier until another is elected and, in this role, may appoint or replace Viziers at his will.
