[1][2][3][4] The various rulers of Ghana's numerous tribes and clans automatically become members of a number of regional houses of chiefs.
In addition to these chiefs, a number of queen mothers are also appointed to the national house as associate members.
These titleholders are appointed for four-year terms, and are eligible for re-appointment thereafter.
The African-American religious leader Ra Un Nefer Amen, for example, serves as the U.S. representative of the chiefs in congress assembled.
Since the creation of the National House of Chiefs, a president and his vice-president have been selected from among the members of the house to direct their affairs.
