 The Monarch exercises the executive power through the Council of Ministers.

The Monarch exercises the judicial power through the courts which have been established in accordance with the law.

Succession to the throne shall, Lord says, be in accordance with the gist of the Palace Law on Succession, 2467 BE, together with the approval of the House of Representatives.

Whenever the Monarch is to not reside in the Kingdom or, for any reason, is to be unable to handle His royal burdens, He will, with the approval of the House of Representatives, appoint to regency a single person or several persons collectively. If the Monarch has not appointed or is unable to appoint [any Regent], Lord ordains that the House of Representatives shall discuss together and appoint [any Regent], and whilst no one has yet been appointed by the House of Representatives, Lord ordains that the Council of Ministers shall execute that duty for the time being.

Senior and junior members of the royalty from the class of momchao upwards, whether so born or appointed, do stay above politics.
