This is...confusing. So who, exactly, holds the balance of power, between the Pres and PM? --Penta 23:46, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
The PM is the one who is really in charge. the president is just a figurehead, despite having teh power of dropign the atomic bomb of parliament dissolution, like he did recently. -- Vasco
Appart from a few important powers, such as the dissolution of parliament and vetus of laws, the president is mostly a representative politician, both in internal and external cultural relationships. More or less the equivalent to the royal family in a constitutional monarchy, but under a repubican, with all the implications that fact bears. (17 jan 2005)
Removed info about diplomatic representation to/from the US, as others have done from other articles, because it is very US-centric. Ddye 21:18, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
One should think of moving the President from the executive branch, as this is not correct. The President is above the executive branch. 213.30.116.106

Portugal is not a classic semi presidential republic. The president holds no legislative power. He just holds the power to veto legislation, and even in that case, the parliament may still approve the vetoed law, ignoring the president's reasons to oppose it. That's the only case in which the president may interfere with the legislative process. Afonso Silva 20:35, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- In my even more humble opinion the content of that article can be included in this article. Electionworld = Wilfried (talk 07:32, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
I oppose the merge. The government of Portugal is notable enough to have its own article, just like many other government articles in Wikipedia. Afonso Silva 20:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
