The appointed ministers take the oath of office before the King.

Constitution for the Kingdom of the Netherlands Article 47 (Dutch edition of WikiSource) That, given the fact that the ministers have the authority, really means that they decide and it is the monarch who countersigns (the minister asks the monarch for permission aka royal authority and as upholder of the Constitution, the monarch signs first, the minister is politically responsible for the Act and countersigns. This is an Act of the Crown: monarch and minister together), and even that is a formality. Also, while the monarch may technically propose laws ("by or on behalf of the King"), ministerial responsibility means that he never does. And even though the government may refuse to sign a States-General approved proposal into law, this is practically unheard of and the monarch refusing to sign on his own is even rarer (and would cause a constitutional crisis).

Most parliamentarians believe that this procedure is unconstitutional. This was also the opinion of most experts, of the State Council, whose opinion was leaked to the press, of the Constitutional Council, whose advice remained confidential, and of most of the president's entourage, even of the prime minister. The motion was clearly directed against the President of the Republic. Most of its powers are subject to contreseing (countersignature), which in parliamentary tradition, justify its irresponsabilité , the minister who countersigns endorsing the act.

Once a bill is introduced in Parliament, it must pass the National Council with the requisite quorums and be approved by the Federal Council to become 'enacted'. After its enactment the bill is forwarded to the chancellor, who submits it to the president. The president then signs the bill into law, that is, if it has been enacted in accordance with constitutional requirements. The chancellor subsequently countersigns and then promulgates the bill in the federal law gazette, ultimately rendering it effective.

Due to the possibility that an armed attack may involve an adversary with the capability to realistically present itself as law enforcement or military forces, a "sign-countersign" system is in use; the TECC provides "countersigns" to responders which they are required to use to signal NNSA defenders when approaching a SGT that is under attack. The NNSA has advised local law enforcement to "take cover" in the event they signal an incorrect countersign to NNSA personnel when attempting to provide aid during a threat incident.

Peerages in Spain are created by the Grace of the King, according to the Spanish Ministry of Justice, and are the highest marks of distinction that he may bestow in his capacity as the fons honorum in Spain. Conventionally, the Title of Concession creating the dignity must be countersigned by a government minister. When a title is created for a former president, the succeeding president customarily countersigns the royal decree. As a reward for national service, the king awarded peerages to two of his former presidents who have since retired from active politics: Adolfo Suárez was created 1st Duke of Suárez; and Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo was created 1st .

On the night of May 12, 1862, he, family members, and other black American crewmen of the Planter, a cargo steamer turned into an armed coastal patrol ship, sailed out of Charleston harbor after the captain and two mates had gone home. In the dark, Smalls pretended to be the captain and, from his previous experiences, was able to provide all the correct countersigns to challenges from the various harbor fortifications. Upon reaching ships forming the Union blockade, he surrendered the Planter to them. Later that month he and his fellow crewmen received payment as a reward from the US government for half the appraised value of the ship as a reward.

The Executive Council meets every Monday to sign Orders in Council (regarding regulations and appointments, for example), and may also informally brief the governor-general on political developments and constitutional issues that have arisen. Any three members of the Executive Council constitute a quorum. The clerk of the Executive Council (who is also the Cabinet secretary) is appointed by the governor-general on advice of the prime minister, and is responsible for attending all meetings of the Council and keeping records of its meetings, as well as for co-coordinating any official support or advice to the governor- general. The clerk also countersigns any Order in Council, proclamation, or other legal instrument issued by the governor-general.

Actually the table can be compiled by heart by moving the lower list one place to the right following the alphabetic order of the index letters, firstly the vowels, then the consonants: A, E, I, O, V, C, G, M, Q, S, Y. Encipherment is performed by using an agreed-upon phrase called countersign, placed over the plaintext. With reference to the table, one substitutes the plaintext letter with the letter that is above or under it in the alphabet identified by the capital letter of the countersign. Enciphering: `VIRTVTIOMNIAPARENT VIRTVTIOMNIAPARENT VI Countersign` `larmataturchescapa rtiraacinquedilugl io Plaintext` `SYBOVEYLDANVOFSZLP IINCVPNSHMLRNXOIZN RD Ciphertext` Deciphering: `VIRTVTIOMNIAPARENT VIRTVTIOMNIAPARENT VI Countersign` `SYBOVEYLDANVOFSZLP IINCVPNSHMLRNXOIZN RD Ciphertext` `larmataturchescapa rtiraacinquedilugl io Plaintext` This cipher is a letter- by-letter polysubstitution using a long literal key string. The system is still periodic although the use of one or more long countersigns makes it sufficiently secure.
