39. EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY OF FEDERATION
The executive authority of the Federation shall be vested in the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and exercisable, subject to the provisions of any federal law and of the Second Schedule, by him or by the Cabinet or any Minister authorised by the Cabinet, but Parliament may by law confer executive function on other persons.
The King (Yang di-Pertuan Agong) is elected indirectly by the Conference of Rulers. There are a few unusual feature regarding the election of the King. First, only hereditary Rulers may stand as candidates. Second, only Rulers may vote. Third, the most senior Ruler (in age) is elected and fourth, no state may have its Ruler elected King again until the Ruler of every state has had the chance of becoming the Yang di Pertuan Agong.
