Summary/Abstract: It is the purpose of both parts of the article to present the Prime Minister as a body subject to Sejm control. To achieve the above, an attempt has been made to characterise his legal and governmental status with the consideration given to the factors determining such status, especially those factors that are basic for the presentation of the Prime Minister and fit within the subjective and objective scope of the Sejm control over the government activity. Considerations in this respect are carried out based on the normative regulations, mainly on the Constitution of the Republic of Poland adopted on 2 April 1997. The article mainly includes the analysis of the legal and governmental status subject to Sejm control over the Prime Minister of the Council of Ministers as a chairman of the collective executive decision-making body of the Polish government, that is, the Council of Ministers. The focus has been placed on the role of the Prime Minister in shaping the make-up of the government, his power to discharge and reshuffle cabinet members and influence to consolidate the government. Subsequently, the position of the Prime Minister within the Council of Ministers was submitted to more profound analysis including the contemplation of such normative solutions crucial for this position as authority to represent the Council of Ministers, coordinate the work of the Council of Ministers ensure the implementation of policy adopted by the cabinet, define the manners of the implementation of policy of the Council of Ministers, and coordinate and control work of the cabinet members.
