Instytucja Prezydenta RP według Jarosława Kaczyńskiego i w projektach konstytucji Prawa i Sprawiedliwości
The institution of the President of the Republic of Poland according to Jarosław Kaczyński and under the constitutional proposals from the Law and Justice party

Summary/Abstract: From the Jarosław Kaczyński’s address to the constitutional convention of the Law and Justice (PiS)party, and from the constitutional proposals put forward by PIS, it is clear that they are not in any wayintended to rationalize the current model of governance, nor to specify what would be the role of thePresident of the Republic of Poland in shaping the foreign and defense policy of the State, but are aimedat general strengthening of President’s position among State authorities. But is it possible without a transitionto the presidential system? The authors of the proposal seem to think so. According to them,a remedy for the problems with Polish political system would be a shift towards a semi-presidential regime,without establishing a government’s formal political responsibility before the president, but withthe granting of his/her new powers, making the President of the Republic the pivot of the new systemof government. However, this is the wrong way of thinking, as the author attempts to prove.
