Relationship Between The Hall and The Amyrlin Seat
Ideally, the Hall and the Amyrlin Seat would work together for the good of the White Tower. However, in practice, there is often a power struggle between the Hall and the Amyrlin. Indeed, an Amyrlin's strength is usually measured by her ability to manage the Hall to achieve the results she wants. The Amyrlin can not actually break Tower law as enacted by the Hall, but has the power to make decrees on any subject not explicitly covered by existing laws. By the same token, the Hall can not actually revoke an Amyrlin's decrees or executive acts, but can, by constant inquiry into her conduct of affairs and opposition to her proposals, make her job exceedingly difficult.

roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“The chief element in the art of statesmanship under modern conditions is the ability to elucidate the confused and clamorous interests which converge upon the seat of government. It is an ability to penetrate from the naïve self-interest of each group to its permanent and real interest.... Statesmanship ... consists in giving the people not what they want but what they will learn to want.”
