The President of Ireland (Irish: Uachtarán na hÉireann) is the head of state of the Republic of Ireland. The President is usually directly elected by the people for seven years, and can be elected for a maximum of two terms. The presidency is largely a ceremonial office, but the President does exercise certain limited powers at his/her absolute discretion. The office was established by the Constitution of Ireland in 1937. The President's official residence is Áras an Uachtaráin in Dublin. The current office-holder is President Mary McAleese.\n\nThe Constitution of Ireland provides for a parliamentary system of government, under which the role of the head of state is largely a ceremonial one. Most of the functions of the President may only be carried out in accordance with the strict instructions of the Constitution, or the binding 'advice' of the Government. The President does, however, possess certain personal powers, that may be exercised at her discretion. Unlike the presidents of many other republics, the President of Ireland is neither the nominal nor de facto chief executive officer of the state. Rather, executive authority is expressly vested in the Government (cabinet). The Government is obliged, however, to keep the President generally informed on matters of domestic and foreign policy.\n\n\nCeremonial functions\n\nAppoints the Government: The President appoints the Taoiseach (head of government) and other ministers, and accepts their resignations. The Taoiseach is appointed upon the nomination of Dáil Éireann (the lower house of parliament), and the remainder of the cabinet upon the nomination of the Taoiseach. Ministers are dismissed on the advice of the Taoiseach and the Taoiseach must, unless there is a dissolution of the Dáil, resign upon losing the confidence of the house. On the advice of the Government, the President also appoints members of the judiciary. \nConvenes and dissolves Dáil Éireann: Save where exercising the right, under his or her reserve powers, to refuse a dissolution in certain circumstances, this power is exercised on the advice of the Government. \n\nSigns bills into law: \n\nThe president is formally one of three tiers of the Oireachtas (national parliament). The President may not, unless exercising one of her reserve powers, veto a law that the Dáil and the Senate have adopted. \n\nRepresents the state in foreign affairs: \n\nThis power is exercised only on the advice of the Government. The President accredits ambassadors and receives the letters of credence of foreign diplomats. Ministers sign international treaties in the President's name. This role was not exercised by the President prior to 1949, see Irish head of state from 1937-1949. \n\nIs supreme commander of the Defence Forces, in this role somewhat similar in statute to that of a commander-in-chief. This is a nominal position, the powers of which are exercised on the advice of the Government. See Minister for Defence. \nPower of pardon: The President, on the advice of the Government, has "the right of pardon and the power to commute or remit punishment". This power has only being used once, in the case of the Sallins Train Robbery; it had been announced by the Irish Government that it would be used to pardon the so called IRA 'on the runs' as part of the Northern Ireland peace process, but the Government later abandoned this plan after the British Government similarly abandoned a de facto amnesty for 'on the runs'. \n \nThe President may not leave the state without the consent of the Government. \n\nEvery formal address or message "to the nation" or to either or both Houses of the Oireachtas must have prior approval of the Government. Other than on these two (quite rare) occasions there is no limitation on the President's right to speak. While earlier presidents were exceptionally cautious in delivering speeches and on almost every occasion submitted them for vettin

Crikey,\n\nHave you guys ever heard of international law?\n\nGiven that the US was instrumental in the birth of the League of Nations, the current administration has done less for worldwide stability than Adolf Hitler.\n\nWhilst we defend our right to democracy, it is not our right to force democracy on countries that do not want it.  Attacking countries that harbour terrorists, only makes the problems worse.  Yes Iraq has democracy, but at what price...?\n\nIt's funny that a couple of years ago the US was the main source of support for republican terrorists in Ireland.  Why are Iran and Syria any different.

Dual citizenship is allowed with Ireland, too. Dual citizenship is not just given, it must be attained.\n\nThe US has cut off all aid to Palestinians because they US has a double standard. They want democratically elected leaders, as long as they are leaders we like. \n\nThe US gives 1/3 of our foreign aid budget to Israel, the 6th richest country in the world. We supply them with they military hardware they use to oppress and kill Palestinians. We support them even though they refuse to abide by international treaties and UN resolutions.

The preamble basically outlined the goals of the new Constitution when it was written. It also denotes powers in the government, but not specifically.

He can even dissolve the Lok Sabha. These powers are formal and the President while using these powers must act according to the advice of the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister.\nThe President can declare a state of emergency upon need too\n\nA bill that the Parliament has passed, can become a law only after the President gives his assent to it. He can return a bill to the Parliament, if it is not a money bill, for reconsideration. However, if the Parliament sends it back to him for the second time, he has to give his assent to it.\n\nso maybe thats y u can say dat he is sum sort of dummy as he cant do anyth if sum bill is sent back..or that all his powers r in accordance with da PM...but he's not exactly a dummy..he has many powers as da supreme head of da nation nd if usen da ryt way..this can help our nation progress to be on top!!

If it within the confines of existing law I don't have a problem with it. I'm one who believes that president doesn't not have a lot of power. The constitution limited the presidents powers inorder to keep the government in the hands of the people thru it's elected representives. Additionally, the Commander In Chief status(Article II) placed on the president was meant to keep military generals or other officers from taking over the country like we seen happen so many times in other countries ie Cuba, and many African nations.

Since I am a musician first thing I would do is pass a law banning getting up before 10am.\n\nOn a serious note,\n\nThe President has very little power that can be wielded in one day. Outside of signing an executive order that could be turned over by congress or the court. However if I had the ability to pass any laws this is some of what I would do. I do thank the founding fathers for being smart enough to create our Government so no one person has this type of power, even if everyone of my ideas are the right thing to do. \n\n1. Abolish the IRS, go to a VAT tax which is the only fair way to do taxes. With a max tax cap of 10%\n\n2. Ban the murder of the innocent unborn babies via needless abortions.\n\n3. Give me (the President) a line item veto to get rid of pork spending. Change that get rid of all pork barrel spending. Outside of defense, roads and public safety there is not much more this government needs to be doing anyway. \n\n4. Allow for the drilling of oil off shore and in Alaska.
