query: How does the federal cabinet in Austria rely on the support of the National Council?
answer: While not technically answerable to the legislature except for a motion of censure, the Austrian federal cabinet would be paralyzed without the National Council's support.  The president cannot dissolve the National Council unilaterally, making the cabinet reliant on National Council approval, reflected in its composition mirroring election results.
