حق رئيس الجمهورية في تسمية رئيس مجلس الوزراء في العراق

Abstract EN

The President of the Republic is the first party in the executive authority and one of the most important functions that he exercises is the designation of the Prime Minister who will form the government, as the latter is the true head of government and the coordinating worker for the work of the executive authority in the Iraqi parliamentary system, and this system preserves the President of the Republic the right to name the Prime Minister except His right to nomination is not olute, but rather is bound to the nomination of the most numerous parliamentary bloc candidate to form the government.

The Iraqi constitution of 2005 was keen to tackle the issue of naming the prime minister, as the constitution restricted the president to assigning the largest number of parliamentary bloc candidates, and this restriction, even if it is in line with the increasing democratic trend, but it sparked controversy and a great difference about its interpretation at the legal and political levels.
