The Supreme Chancellor was the head of state of the Galactic Republic. Each Chancellor was elected by the Galactic Senate for four year terms and could be removed from office at any time with a Vote of No Confidence. The Chancellor had a prestigious yet powerless position and served primarily as an officiator after the Ruusan Reformation.
In 19 BBY, the title was abolished by Chancellor Palpatine when he declared himself Galactic Emperor and reformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire. After the Empire was removed from Coruscant and replaced by the New Republic, the head of state instead used the term Chief of State, since the title of Supreme Chancellor had been tarnished by Palpatine's deeds.
