Such discrepancy in turn is reflected in public practice. There for a framework of a presidential discretion becomes indistinct that in many respects causes an authoritarian trajectory. In article in particular the view of mission of the head of state as arbitrator, the coordinator and the uniting beginning in system of the public power is exposed to criticism.
