Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda's surprise resignation announcement Monday, less than a year into office, is the latest problem to rock Japan as the world's second largest economy flirts with recession.
LouisK
: "The Prime Minister of Japan is the head of government. The position is appointed by the Emperor of Japan after being designated by the Diet from among its members and must enjoy the confidence of the House of Representatives to remain in office. The Prime Minister is the head of the Cabinet (the literal translation of his Japanese title is "Prime Minister of the Cabinet") and appoints and dismisses the Ministers of State, a majority of whom must be Diet members."
