The Congress of State is the government of the Republic of San Marino.
Composed by ten members, it is appointed by the Grand and General Council between its members, so becoming a parliament committee. Generally it lasts five years as the Council, but it can be forced to resign by a parliamentary vote of no confidence.
The three most relevant posts are the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the Secretary for Interior and the Secretary for Treasury, who are directly chosen by the Council. The other seven congressmen are indistinctly nominated, and they will receive their ministry later by the Congress itself.
The incumbent Congress is in office since 2008 following the general election of the same year, which marked the victory of centre-right coalition of Pact for San Marino.
