Abstract
The article presents an essay regarding the purpose and meaning of the position of the president in the constitutional system of the Czech Republic. It specifically focuses on the potential dimensions and implications of the guarantee and stability function.
The president and the exercise of his or her competencies in relation to other constitutional organs is connected with a wide variety of constitutional and political controversies, which are based on long term tensions between the parliamentary form of government and a strong political legitimacy of the president. Therefore, it is necessary to seek answers in individual cases of concerned controversies in light of the general functions of the presidency in a wider context of the model of division of powers.
