POWERS OF PRESIDENT
OF FRENCH REPUBLIC
Garner in North American Review.

Garner in North American Review.
One of the most Important powers OF
the president oi l'ranoe--oile which Is
not possessed bS the president of amy
other republics the power TO dissolve
the chamber of deputies With the con-
sent OF the senate. 1t is power ordi-
narily belonging to monarchs. and il
was strongly opposed in the national
assembly by both moderate and rad
ical republicans as a dangerous weapon
In the hands of the president. 1t was
thought however. To he a necessary
part OF the parliamentary SYSTEM since
In case OF conflicts between the legisla-
tive and the executive powers il could
be employed for the purpose of APP
pealing to the nation to decide who Was
right.
The only instance i'm which this pow
err has ever been exercised was at the
time of the crisis known as the Seize
Mai, in 1871, when President Mcmahon
compelled the resignation of a ministry
which had the confidence of the cham
Der of deputies and followed 1t up by
dissolution OF the chamber. Like
the other powers of the president. 1t
may now be regarded as q dead letter,
and there is little likelihood that an
other attempt will ever be made TO
resurrect it,
The practically unlimited power Of
appointment which the constitution
gives the president has. like his other
constitutional prerogatives, passed to
the ministry, and SO far as he is con-
cerned il is mere fiction. Nominal
tions, as Il matter of FORM are aid
before him for an approval which he
cannot withhold. He may recommend
certain candidates to the favorable
consideration of the ministry, but he
cannot himself choose even a Sib-pre-
feet or Il justice OF the peace. -.
Whatever may be the merits of the
question. there is no doubt that the
office could be abolished tomorrow
without serious inconvenience if only
some provision We're made for the APP
pointment of the ministers. This func-
ton might be Entrusted to special
delegation chosen by parliament, as has
been proposed. The vast majority of
Frenchmen, however, do not desire the
abolition of the presidency.
