Presidential prerogative

In the politics of Kalistan, presidential prerogative is a constitutional convention which dictates that the President of the Republic has the sole power to present a cabinet proposal to the National Assembly. Even though it has not always been contained in the constitution, it has usually been observed as a matter of principle by institutionalist political parties such as the Socialist Party of Kalistan and the Labour Party.

The presidential prerogative has significantly influenced the overall government and politics of the country by, for example, encouraging political parties to work together in Presidential elections in exchange for consideration in a future cabinet proposal. During certain periods of Kalistan's political history, competing coalitions have backed two rival Presidential candidates with the expectation that endorsements will be repaid with cabinet positions.
