Internal legislation constituted by the President of Poland

The article concerns the internal legislation adopted by the President. These acts should correspond to the characteristics set out in the Article 93 of the Polish Constitution. Under this provision, resolutions of the Council of Ministers and orders of the Prime Minister and ministers shall be of an internal character and shall bind only those organizational units subordinate to the organ which issues such an act. Orders shall only be issued on the basis of statute. They shall not serve as the basis for decisions taken in respect of citizens, legal persons and other subjects. Resolutions and orders shall be subject to scrutiny regarding their compliance with universally binding law. The president has few legal options to enact this type of legislation. The law-making power in relation to the head of state in a few cases is vested in the Constitution. This applies to the Presidential Chancellery, the National Security Council and the Cabinet Council. These cases are described in the article.
