PROPOSAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND
Abstract
The proposal of amendments to the Constitution of the Republic of Poland presented in the paper
was initiated by former Presidents Chairmen) of Poland’s Constitutinal Court (Trybunał
Konstytucyjny) and subsequently drafted by the Programme Council Seminar „Doświadczenie
i Przyszłość”. The proposal is a wholly civic project. It aims to eliminate the tension between two
organs holding executive power: president and government. It postulates an amendment to the
Constitution that would define presidential office as the highest representative of the Republic and one
with guaranteed continuity. At the same the drafters of the amendments propose that the executive
power should be exclusively held by the government. Further, they propose to limit presidential veto and
consider a possibility of the Seym obliging president to ratify or denounce international treaties. Another
variant considers departure from presidential elections.
