 Government of The Cook Islands
Oaths of office taken by the Queen's Representative, Members of Parliament and Judges of the High Court and prescribed in the Constitution require allegiance to be sworn to the reigning Sovereign (eg Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II) "as the Head of State of the Cook Islands".
By previous agreement between the Governments of the Cook Islands and New Zealand, when there was a High Commissioner of the Cook Islands, the appointment was made by the New Zealand Governor-General after consultation with the Government of the Cook Islands in keeping with the then quasi-diplomatic role of the High Commissioner.
As a consequence, therefore, it was finally decided in 1991 after consultations between the Governments of the Cook Islands and New Zealand that the Audit Office of the Cook Islands would assume the functions previously performed by the Audit Office of New Zealand and the Constitution was amended accordingly (Constitution Amendment (No 14) Act 1991).

 Jefferson on Politics & Government: Executive Branch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
It is not practicable for the executive branch of government to be headed by anything other than a single person.
So that in all important cases the executive is, in fact, a directory, which certainly the President might control; but of this there was never an example, either in the first or the present administration.
To comply with such calls would leave the nation without an executive branch, whose agency, nevertheless, is understood to be so constantly necessary, that it is the sole branch which the Constitution requires to be always in function.
