Austrian President

The head of the state as the president of Austria . The official name is the Bundespräsident der republik österreich. The current president is the 11th generation Alexander Pandear Bellen , and has been elected in the 2016 presidential election and has been a job to date.

If you are a 35 -year -old Austrian citizen, you can run. The term of office is six years, and it is elected and is being elected as a linear voting (and final voting system ) of the people, but it is forbidden to be banned.

Compared to Germany, the president is given a little more power. Unlike Germany, which only has the right to mediate and mediate between political parties, in Austria, the president can also explicitly exercise the right to command the armed forces and the right to veto . Specifically, it holds the following rights:

In theory, the president can arbitrarily appoint the federal prime minister and federal government ministers, but in reality, the parliament votes no confidence in the cabinet thus formed , so he appoints the prime minister and ministers that a majority of lawmakers can agree on. The reason for this is that the current Austrian Federal Constitution, enacted in the 1950s , is based on the constitution enacted in 1929, and although the president's authority is quite strong in this constitution, Austrian politicians have traditionally viewed the president's authority as ceremonial and This is because they have also acted accordingly.

In addition, because it was originally a cabinet system but was amended to a dual executive system in 1929, almost all of the president's powers, except for the military commander-in-chief, require the departments of the prime minister and ministers. Of course, the same is true in Korea and other countries with a presidential system, but it is one of the few countries with a unique dual administration system in which the powers of the president and the prime minister are clearly divided, with the president's 'each authority' specifying who needs what signature and how.

However, not all postwar presidents played only ceremonial roles. For example, in the early 2000s , the relationship between Austrian People's Party President Thomas Klestil and Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel was so bad that Klestil vetoed Schüssel's government formation plan.[1] He used all the powers he had as president to keep Schüssel in check. President Klestil argued that he, as Austria's representative president and head of diplomacy, should represent Austria in the European Union, but due to the highly administrative nature of the European Union, the representative position eventually went to the Prime Minister.

Due to the history of overturning the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and becoming a republic , it was impossible to run for the presidential election until the 2011 Constitutional Constitution was revised in 2011. Because of the so strong influence of the emperor, the Austrian Republic of Korea, initially, had not made a president and tried to make the presidential chairman (commercial assembly) to play the role of the president, and after that, he took all kinds of actions to prevent the president from becoming an election. The Constitutional Amendment was led by the Habsburg family, Ulrich Habsburg Lortrol Linggen, but he was not able to run for presidential elections.
