Abstract

By their decisions, constitutional officers can influence the country’s economic policies to a greater or lesser extent. The degree of their influence is related to their appointment powers. In our case, the text deals with the powers of the President of the Republic to appoint the management of major economic institutions – the Czech National Bank and the Supreme Audit Office. These powers were the subject of a legal and political dispute between President Václav Havel and the members of the government and the Chamber of Deputies. The outcome of the dispute significantly strengthened the position of the President of the Republic with regards to economic policy.
