As the head of the state he intervenes in the legislative power, where he has significant rights. The most importandt right is the right of veto, which is by the Constitution regulated as a suspensive, but toward the end of electoral term of the House of Deputies is usually becomes the absolute veto. There is a serious fault in the Constitution there - the Constitution does not solve the creation of acts, including constitutional acts, during serious threat to state, especially during the war.

The state continuity, including legislative and constitutional competence, is performed by the head of the state, although the Constitution does not know such a competence.
