| | Chancellor of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This was the case with Chancellor Gerhard Schröder from 1999 until he resigned the chairmanship of the SPD in 2004. | | | Chancellor Ludwig Erhard had the largest cabinet, with twenty-two ministers in the mid-1960s. | | | The chancellor's authority emanates from the provisions of the Basic Law and from his or her status as leader of the party (or coalition of parties) holding a majority of seats in the Bundestag (federal parliament). |
