Checking the forum I noticed this thread. Even though I don't have a Rheinland char, I still would like to give my opinion on this matter, if I may.
I actually checked Germany’s government system. Germany actually is Federal Republic and Rheinland is based on it.
Since Rheinland is a Federal Republic, the government system should/would actually be like this:
Bundesregierung (Federal Government):
Led by the Kanzler (Chancellor) – which is suggested by the Bundespraesident (President of Federal Republic Rheinland) and elected by the Bundestag (House Parliament), including all ministers like Outer Defence (RM), Inner Defence (BDM), Justice (RFP), Economy (All trade factions have to choose 1 representative for all trade factions of Rheinland.).
Function:
Discussion of the development regarding Rheinland, from matters of defence, to matters of justice and law, to economy and civil matters.
Bundestag (House Parliament):
Led by the Bundestagspraesident (Presiding Officer of the Rheinland Parliament)- which is elected from all members of the Bundestag, including representatives of all lawful/corporation factions of Rheinland (Faction leaders).
Function:
Suggestion and elections for new laws.
Election of the Kanzler (Chancellor) - which is suggested by the Bundespraesident (President of the Federal Republic).
They also choose the next steps for Rheinland's future, for example raids and attacks on Systems of other Houses.
Bundesrat (Federal Republic Council):
Led by the Bundesratspraesident (Federal Council President), including the Landtagspraesidenten (Governors) of every System of Rheinland.

Accusation/Charging the Bundespraesident (President) of the Federal Republic for abusing or neglecting of duties and rights.

Suggestion of the deletion of the Bundestag (House Parliament).

Landtagspreasident (Governor of a Rheinland System):

This looks a little complicated, I know, but if you really wish to change your government system and actually make it close to reality then this would be the way.
Take your time in creating a new system and wait for the opinion and vote of every active Faction Leader. Since they are part of Rheinland, a change of the government system is actually a matter of interest for everyone playing a Rheinland character.
