Privileges of President

Privileges of President

  • The President is constitutionally empowered to receive information on all important issues and proceedings the Council of Ministers. (Article 78).
  • It is the duty of the Prime Minister to give all the information sought by the President to him The President often writes to the Prime Minister and expresses his views on the problems of the country.
  • The President exercises his privilege on 3 other occasions First, the President can return the advice of the Council of Ministers and ask then to reconsider their decision In doing so, the President exercises his discretion.
  • When the President feels that there is some mistake in the advice or there are legally deficiencies or the decision is not in the interest of the country, he can ask the Council of Ministers to reconsider its decision. Although the Council of Ministers may reconsider the same advice to him even after reconsideration and the President will be obliged to obey it, but the President's request for reconsideration in itself is significant. Therefore, it is a way in which the President exercises his power on the basis of his discretion.
  • Secondly, the President has the power of Veto, which allows him to delay or refuse to approve bills passed by Parliament (except Money Bills).
  • Every bill passed by Parliament is sent for approval of the President before it becomes law. The President can return it to Parliament and ask to reconsider it.
  • This power of Veto is limited because if Parliament passes the same bill again and sends it to the President then the President will have to give his approval on it.
