Does the President of the Republic have all the powers?
In the exam (French)
Est-ce que le président de la République a tous les pouvoirs ?
- aYes, because they are directly elected by the peopleOui, car il est élu directement par le peuple
- bYes, they can alone change the laws passed by ParliamentOui, il peut changer seul les lois votées par le Parlement
- cNo, their powers are limited by the ConstitutionNon, ses pouvoirs sont limités par la ConstitutionCorrect answer
- dYes, if they have the majority of deputies in the AssemblyOui, s’il a la majorité des députés à l’Assemblée
Why?
The President of the Republic has important powers, but they are set and limited by the Constitution. Thanks to the separation of powers, it is Parliament that passes the laws, and the justice system is independent. Many of the President’s decisions must also be signed by the Prime Minister.
