Theoretical and Practical Aspects regarding the Duties of the President of Romania in the Procedure of Naming the Government – Part I

Summary/Abstract: According to the current constitutional provisions in force, the President of Romania has duties in regard to the naming of the Government, as he is the one who begins this procedure by appointing a candidate for the position of prime minister; the President is also the one who concludes this procedure, based on the vote of confidence granted by the Parliament. Considering these constitutional provisions, state practice, doctrine, jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Romania, but also the constitutional provisions of other states, we aim to analyze certain delicate aspects which occur in the exercise of these duties. We will appreciate on the existence or inexistence of a discretionary power of the head of state in the exercise of these duties. In this scientific endeavor, we will use specific methods of research, as is the comparative one, the logic one, the systemic and/or the teleological one.
