Absurdly Powerful Student Council	comment	In real life, power in any American and Canadian school is in the hands of the principal, the faculty, and the school district. And of course, each school is subordinate to the power of state and federal courts. In England and Wales, it lies with the Headteacher, the Board of Governors, and the Local Education Authority. Other jurisdictions, including Scotland, may have their own arrangements. However, in order to create the illusion of students having power over their lives, student councils are forged. In truth, these groups are largely figurehead posts: the only power they have is superficial. The actual election of these groups is basically one big popularity contest, and the only benefit is a student council checkmark on your college application under "extracurricular activities" and an extra picture in the yearbook. In fiction, a student council is Serious Business, with power worthy of corruption and abuse in the hands of those with evil in their hearts. Council members have unparalleled freedom — they do as they please on campus, invent arbitrary rules that punish the masses, and give themselves and their allies special privileges. No member of the staff dare rebuke them. In fact, the staff may rarely appear at all (see Two-Teacher School). Occasionally, their power will be checked by others, such as the School Newspaper Newshound. In the event that the student council is not corrupt and seeks to use their powers for good rather than evil, their rival will be the actual school administration, who will often butt heads with the council over the administration's own corruption/tyranny. One thing that may or may not overlap with this trope is how the Yearbook Committee seems to have supreme power over the yearbook's content, despite the fact that in Real Life schools, administration would step in so that the students in danger of being hurt by the pictures would be out of harm's way. Naturally, led by the Student Council President. If the student council is not only powerful but more powerful than the adults, then they have a Teenage Wasteland. Note that in Japanese schools, this is an exaggeration of Truth in Television, as the Student Councils actually do have power over the approval and funding of student clubs. School Clubs Are Serious Business is a real thing in Japan, as they're meant to prepare students for the high-pressure work environment into which they'll eventually be dumped, and students are strongly encouraged to join at least one club. And just like in their future jobs, students are expected to show utmost loyalty to their club: once you join, you're there until you graduate. Are you starting to see the clout Student Council can hold? (More details in the Real Life section below.) This ranks low on the authority trope. For the other lower steps, see Club President and Class Representative. For the enforcers, see Yellow Sash of Power. For the next step up, see Student Council President. If student council has to be renewed, expect elections to be as absurdly serious as student council power, but the reverse is not always true: elections can go to ridiculous lengths for a powerless student council. They may be called on to settle, moderate, orbe the instigators of an Intra-Scholastic Rivalry. It also isn't exclusive to councils. For example, since a lot of works use a Two-Teacher School, cheer-leading is usually run by the head cheerleader, when in real life, there would be a coach that comes up with the routines and decides who is on the squad. Might be part of an Absurdly Powerful School Jurisdiction.

Chris runs for class president and wins after promising that he'll do his best to bring actual change, only to be told that he can't actually do any of the things he said he would try to get done (which, according to a flashback, included putting cherry kool-aid in the water fountains). However, after he's impeached and replaced, his replacement immediately succeeds in getting this done.

Flashbacks show that when Ava Crescentia and Kayto Shields were on the student council, they were the only members: Ava's overbearing leadership drove the rest away. As a result, they were constantly overworked and never got anything done. The Highschool AU Dating Sim spinoff Sunrider Academy further inverts this in Ava's route, where it's revealed that no student council in the past thirty years has managed to do so much as getting a single club budget passed. Previous student council presidents just used the position as a way to get dates.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_18916544	comment	Fillmore!: X Middle School has a variation; in this school, it's an Absurdly Powerful Safety Patrol, which is basically a student-run police force that enforces all of the school rules and runs like a real-world police force. They take it upon themselves to make sure their fellow classmates play nice. Though it's made clear on multiple occasions that they answer to the teachers, or at least the principal. "Links in a Chain of Honor": The eighth grade student council President has the authority to buy truckloads of foam fingers for the school and is in charge of appointing the sixth grade student council officials rather than let them be chosen by election. The episode "A Forgetten Yesterday" also reveals that the student council can issue search warrants, while a student council president candidate in "Two Wheels, Full Throttle, No Breaks" indicates that he'd have the power to disband the safety patrol if he wins the election.

Its members are on a special scolarship from Seiran Health Organization in exchange for enforcing the pervert sex laws. They organize large-scale promiscuous events and competitons, often with the intention of catching the anti-copulation front.

The Student Council President Sumire certainly acts like she's absurdly powerful, as she likes to address and bark orders to the student body through a bullhorn and approaches everything about the council with utmost seriousness. But the council itself doesn't have much more power than you'd expect them to have, i.e. planning school events and volunteer activities, and the students in general aren't particularly intimidated by them (indeed, Taiga openly snarks at Sumire during assemblies). It's shown to be Serious Business for those involved, though, especially Sumire and her vice president/successor Yuusaku.

Much to the anger of the current student council president. Also fairly well justified, as Mina founded the school with very controversial plans for it. This way, instead of having to deal with continual resistance from the student body, clubs and student council, parents, teachers, the school board, news services, and the general public, she only has to deal with a student council used to suppress all the other groups and which already consists of the strongest-minded and most politically active students. They'd have been manageable even without the way things turned out.

The school Quidditch teams' lineup, practice schedules, and training regimens all seem to be the sole responsibility of the team captain.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_3c1f955d	comment	The student council in Yandere Simulator combines this trope with Yellow Sash of Power, as the student council, headed by the final rival, Megami Saikou, has the authority to stop and punish troublemakers by reporting them to the councilor or, in extreme cases, pepper spraying the perpetrator herself. Killing a student council member causes Megami to take more extreme security measures, such as metal detectors and security cameras, to catch evildoers. It will eventually be possible for Yandere-chan herself to join the student council, with the benefits of being able to ask favors of students without befriending them, be thirty minutes late to class without punishment, be able to go anywhere except the boys' bathroom without being considered a trespasser, not be so easily noticed when doing questionable actions, and one unknown benefit that only kicks in when Megami returns to school after her leave of absence. Joining the student council, however, requires a number of difficult requirements before they'd even consider it, and staying in the student council requires Yandere-chan to attend daily meetings and perform five tasks a week, which cuts into the time needed to eliminate rivals.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_3f5ec5bb	comment	Armed Girl's Machiavellism: Justified. The Supreme Five Swords (how the students' council is called at the Private Aiichi Symbiosis Academy) have a lot of power, including the right to carry swords on campus... Because the headmistress is under orders to allow it, as the owner finds it convenient for reasons so far unknown. It's shown that while the normal teachers don't dare to interfere with their antics the Supreme Five Swords know who is actually in charge, as the one time the headmistress decides to punish their president and another one they just take the punishment. In a variation, it's stated early on they're actually supposed to be the Disciplinary Committee, that after Aiichi became co-ed ended up taking up the students' council's duties alongside rule enforcement... Meaning that there may be an actual yet powerless students' council somewhere. Hokkai, Aiichi's twin school, has the Six King Swords to fulfill this trope... By being the best fighters in the school (it's possible to enter the Six Kings or even become their leader by defeating the incumbent, as the current leader Nonomura and his predecessor both did). The school's owner is the same as Aiichi (and Nonomura's sword teacher), explaining the very similar system.

All the more amusing that in this case, the student council is one girl, the eponymous Medaka, whose standards are so high that after being elected Student Council President, she wears all the armbands of the entire student council herself to signify she's the only one capable of doing their jobs to her satisfaction (until she eventually gives one to her childhood best friend).

Officially, each club and training team is supposed to have a representative in the group. However, in 2005 the group was pretty much hijacked by a group of evil snobs who kicked out anyone who wasn't pretty enough and vicious enough for their tastes. This group was overthrown in early 2007, so things are getting back to where they should be - for now.

It was one vote for Mr. Ed, two for Ringo Starr, and the rest for Kevin.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_55abb81c	comment	Since Outcast is a Hetalia: Axis Powers Highschool AU based partially on the Gakuen Hetalia designs by creator Hidekaz Himaruya, it stands to reason that there would be a student council. In a traditional sense, the seven members of the St. Hetalia Academy for Boys Student Council are the only students who interact with the school's administrators; thus all official pronouncements and policy enforcement must go through them. In a more literal sense, membership in the student council (and consequent possession of a Golden Arrow pin) grants a council member an extraordinary, nigh-supernatural boost to their natural abilities and aptitudes. Russia's strength is increased to the point where he can fold the head of an axe like an origami napkin, America's courage and charisma are boosted to make him the sort of leader people consciously want to follow, and England's familiarity with dark magic gets amped up to the point that he can talk to the dead and monitor the whereabouts of students on school grounds.

The Student Council President actually laughs about how ridiculous the premise is... while slowly getting sucked into acting this way for real (This sort of thing happens a lot, due to Haruhi's influence). Yuki's faction sees it coming and sends in Kimidori to keep things in check. Thus, when the President tries to cause trouble for the SOS Brigade (and overdoes it), the only thing stopping a furious Nagato from killing him is Kimidori's silent reassurance.

He's also quite notorious for missing his meetings and for letting his right-hand man, Tsubaki Sasuke, take charge of running the whole student council, just because he thinks it's too much trouble doing it himself...

The subversion is that in Public High School 1368 the student captain, Legend, just does his own thing, while the regular students are absurdly powerful, getting away with decking teachers just because no one that cares can stop them. The second half of the series features the "Four Pillars" of Varron Academy, who function like this... but they're really just the school supervisor's pawns.

They are never seen to discuss uniforms or hall passes. Actually, the treasurer of the Council, Juri, was briefly seen in one episode talking with a teacher about Student Council-y stuff. By the way, the teacher seemed terrified of her. In an odd pass, neither the school nor the Council itself ever thinks to hold "elections" for a new Vice-President and no one ever blinks for a second when Nanami declares herself President in her brother's place. The Utena Sega Saturn game pumps up the absurdity, by revealing that the only reason the council members have their places at all is that they're the most popular and "prince-like" students in the school. Their jobs on the council are arbitrarily assigned based on their age. Miki is genuinely shocked at the revelation; Juri just gets pissed. Anthy is treated as a honorary member due her role as the Rose Bride and the councilmembers being the candidates to get engaged to her. As an extension, Utena in the manga is treated as another honorary member due having won the engagement.

Other than the power the student council has on the school, they are even able to extend their power beyond the school - for example, they forbid anyone who is not a member of the council to visit Asuka's house, and Asuka's mother actually complies with it.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_b704a08a	comment	Reborn! (2004): The Disciplinary Committee president, Kyoya Hibari, has everyone in the school afraid of him; no one does anything even when he harms the other students. He has the director of the local hospital under his fingers and is the most feared delinquent group in their town AND can get rid of dead bodies, no questions asked. The reason for Hibari's considerable influence becomes clear by the Varia Arc — he is quite simply one of the deadliest people on the planet and resisting his will immediately puts one in severe physical danger.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_b7296d31	comment	My-HiME: The student council essentially polices itself, with its actual headmaster being little more than a figurehead. The vice-president Reito Kanzaki is the host body of the Big Bad and the president Shizuru Fujino is one of the super-powered HiME, and most of their on-screen council duties are limited to organizing school festivals (wherein plot-related stuff happens), leaving the disciplinary work to its most Hot-Blooded member while they sit back, relax and drink tea. The trope is discussed near the start of the second episode. After Mai complains about Haruka interrogating her shortly after her arrival and finds it odd that a mere student gets to do that, Yuuichi explains that the school is run by the students for the students. When Shizuru leaves the job, it becomes apparent that her laissez-faire attitude and sweet-natured diplomacy, combined with Haruka Suzushiro's boundless energy, kept the school running. Haruka can't do the job without her; though part of this is the job getting a lot harder after the school got half-destroyed in the HiME battles, she complains that Shizuru could have things sorted out if she was there.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_bfef9cdb	comment	Played with in Welcome to Night Vale: They have an Absurdly Powerful City Council instead. The Night Vale City Council is described as something akin to an Omniscient Council of Vagueness. Everything that occurs in Night Vale is in some way governed by the City Council. It is purported to have existed for nearly 200 years and forces townspeople to vote for them by taking them down into an abandoned mineshaft outside town, doing unknown things to them, and threatening torture and kidnapping of family members. The Council also plays a major role in directing the townspeople's attention away various (extremely obvious) supernatural occurrences, including a mysterious "Glow Cloud" seen hovering around town and raining dead animals, a bloody massacre at the local post office which was accompanied with sounds of "souls being ripped apart by black magic", and the frequent sightings of mysterious figures in black robes lurking around town. The City Council are also cowardsnote or a coward; their status as multiple entities rather than one entity in multiple bodies is questionable who tend to bail out of town during crises and end up getting bullied into letting Tamika Flynn, a teenage bookworm and militia leader, become the first new councillor since Night Vale's founding when she decides she wants to be one. The PTA is apparently not immune from this either, hosting such functions as "a fundraiser for the 'Parents for a Blood Space War' committee. The money raised will go towards production of photon bombs and deployment of soldiers to the outer areas of the solar system." Their meetings are also known to erupt into bloody riots.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_c289250b	comment	Student hierarchy in British public boarding schools is often portrayed in fiction. It is parodied in the Ripping Yarns episode "Tomkinson's Schooldays" with the one-person version of this with Grayson the School bully. "School Bully" is his official title; he's won a Bullying Cup and a "kick-in of fags", and parents send their sons to the school partly to be bullied by him. He also has some significant influence outside of the school, for example in the Church of England. "Absurdly powerful" could not be a more apt description.

The student council is made up of 30-40 kids, but whenever there's no quorum at a meeting (which happens a lot due to class schedules) the Executive Council can pass rules on the entire council's behalf. There are five kids on the Executive Council, but since they only need a majority vote, in theory three kids can make irreversible decisions regarding the lunch menu, disposal of paper waste, and the budgets for student organizations. This gives Jackson and Hashemi Oh, Crap! reactions when their enemy Keith, his cousin, and his best friend all run for Executive Council positions. When presented with evidence of any wrongdoing, Honor Board members have the authority to nullify election results, order investigations, and ban malefactors from any future elections without needing a hearing or the principal's permission.

As crazy as this sounds, this is actually more plausible than it seems considering the school is owned by the incredibly wealthy and powerful Kiryuin family, with daughter Satsuki at the head of the student council and her mother Ragyo willing to enable her daughter's project. The school is also a Life Fiber research and development facility that cranks out superpowered uniforms, which they use to control the student body and the faculty. Satsuki herself is pretty open with how the school is run by Might Makes Right and is emulating a military. The glimpses we see of other schools resisting Honnouji's imperialist ambitions suggests Satsuki is only slightly more powerful than the usual student council president. Her most dangerous rival, Kaneo Takarada of Naniwa Kinman High School, controls the local economy of Osaka with his family's personal scrip and bankrolls its citizens as reserves to his school's own student military. And that's not getting into his intelligence network of gossipy Osaka grannies, or the Powered Armor.

Maria, on the other hand, bluntly says that the actual purpose of the council is to make the students do all the paperwork so that the adults don't have to bother with it. The top six students are chosen because they're least likely to suffer a performance decrease from the extra workload.

All perfectly normal student council stuff! Except that this school is designed for raising and promoting Idol Singers, and the make-up of these idol groups is also within the council's purview. This means that the council - and particularly its president, Eichi - have a huge amount of control over all the students' current careers and reputations, which may follow them for the rest of their lives. As it happens, before the player character transferred in, this power was absolutely abused to promote the president's group. However, over the course of the main story, a plucky group of second-years manage to reverse this and cut back most of this power. The student council remains an intimidating presence over the following stories, but not nearly to the same extent as before.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_da861da1	comment	Veronica Mars did an episode around the corrupt antics of Neptune High's student council. The council, run by the school's wealthiest students, conceived a policy called "Pirate Points" to allow the councilmen and their cronies on the various sports and cheer teams to have take-out food delivered to the school for them to eat, while forcing the rest of the students, and those in clubs that were not liked by the jocks and student council, to eat the crappy cafeteria food. To keep a rabble-rousing ex-cheerleader from getting elected student council president on a platform of her abolishing the Pirate Point program, Alpha Bitch Madison Sinclair schemed to get popular student Duncan Kane elected president, under the logic that Duncan would keep the Pirate Point program going since he was too spaced out to care either way about how controversial the program was. In the end, after realizing the reform candidate was a narc for the local police and probably wouldn't carry out her vow to abolish the program, Veronica was forced to switch candidates and shamed Duncan (via pointing out how much of a hand-puppet he had become for Madison) into taking up the cause. Rather than abolish the system, he opts to reform it into a more egalitarian program, expanding it to include all clubs and teams at school as well as all students on the honor roll.

In the anime, when it's discovered that the Light Music Club isn't officially recognized, Ritsu thinks it's a sinister plot to drive weak clubs into being disbanded.

The post-chapter sketches have Yamanaka-sensei asking her for a raise, and the principal asks for a part in the series. When Nodoka and all the older LMC members are in the same class for third year, Ritsu suspects Nodoka of pulling strings. It was Yamanaka-sensei. When the LMC discovers that the student council's room has an air conditioner while they don't, they think it's an abuse of power. Any club that applies for it can have one installed. She said so at a club presidents' meeting... that Ritsu forgot to attend.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_e490a9cf	comment	In New Gundam Breaker, the Student Council of Gunbre High School absolutely rules over the school, to the point where you and your team of beautiful high school girls create a rebelling Gunpla Battle Team, Side 0, to trounce the Council and take back the school. When you finally meet the Student Council President, you find out that all of this was done to find a powerful opponent to fight and that, in the past, the player character had actually beaten him. Once he has a Heel Realization, he dissolves his corrupt team and you and many of the others take over with their own.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_e7c65a4f	comment	Remember that bit about how vitally important school clubs are in Japan? The Student Council in the Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! manga shuts them down at seemingly random, and one of the plot threads deals with their ongoing efforts against the Earth Defense Club, which they loathe (the titular Bouei-bu). Their Student Council President, Kinshirou Kusatsu, tears into anyone he even suspects of breaking rules. They also get hefty privileges - Custom Uniforms, a fancy office, even a fancy table of their own in the cafeteria. And did we mention they're also trying to Take Over the World, and are the main opponents of the Magical Boys in the Defense Club?

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_e8343108	comment	Turned on its head with Angel Beats!. Since the show is set to an equivalent of Purgatory, the Student Council represents subordinates of the Creator of said world. One of the female lead actually forms a rival organization to battle said student council. The catch? Besides the Student Council President, most of the members of the Student Council are non-humans (referred to as NPCs, placeholders of human beings who are mostly completely apathetic and oblivious to whatever zaniness occurs near them). Also, since they are simply dedicated to preserving order (which the rival organization always try to subvert), they don't do much around the school.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_eb6719f6	comment	In Final Fantasy VIII, the Disciplinary Committee is a student-run committee in Balamb Garden that exists to enforce the Garden's rules among the students. Though perhaps it wasn't a good idea to allow Seifer and his "posse" to run it, as they use their power to bully and harass other students without fear of getting into trouble for it. It is also implied that they have some sort of "hit list" that even the school's instructors aren't safe from.

Unfortunately, this distracted the Mayor from his own election, causing him to lose on a landslide. And Dan Freebird was elected class treasurer.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council / int_f554e011	comment	Subverted in Katawa Shoujo, in which Shizune and Misha are two members of the Student Council. The only members, unless Hisao joins them. As an example of their lack of power, while much work is pushed on to them for the School Festival, including management of budgets and the creation of most of the stalls, they lack the authoritative power to recruit help or even make sure that everybody gets the paperwork in. (Oh, and the president is deaf and mute. Makes it so easy talking with others.) It's implied that in the past, the student council was even less effective, and Shizune was responsible for pushing for a more active student council. Shizune seems to attribute the problem to the student body and expresses some concern over how effective her successors will be. Unfortunately, this ended up driving most of the other members off.
