I'm not registered on Wikipedia, but there's a great mistake on this map. Portugal is a semi-presidential republic. The President can veto, he nominates the Government, he is the one that declares war, he is the one that sends laws to the Constitutional Court to be checked, etc.

Check the works of Jorge Reis Novais and Duverger on Portugal. Also, countries like Angola are semi-presidential Republics because they inspired their recent constitutions on the Portuguese Constitution of 1976 (Portugal colonised Angola) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.247.161.142 (talk) 20:05, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it has already passed one year and the colour of the picture, delimited by Portugal, has not yet been changed from orange to yellow. 82.154.137.87 (talk) 15:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A much more significant distinction than between non-practising monarchy and republic is the distinction between a coalition government and a winner take all one party system. to be informative, this file should make that distinction.· Lygophile has spoken 13:13, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The army have taken power, suspended the Constitution, and declared that the President of the Constitutional Council has replaced President Morsi. The colour for Egypt should be changed to olive. 82.154.137.87 (talk) 15:46, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Portuguese President is a cerimonial one. The executive powers are in government's hands, which in turn is supported by the Parliament. Fix the map please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.18.241.77 (talk) 20:13, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this source states the opposite of what you are claiming: Semi-Presidential Systems: Dual Executive And Mixed Authority Patterns. And for the case you know, the president has the iniciative to name PM and can dissolve the assembly at his own discretion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.84.220.112 (talk) 04:08, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The role of the President was defined during the 80s, more precisely during the presidency of Ramalho Eanes. His powers have been reduced since and he can now be considered ceremonial.

I can cite the current Constitution (7th Revision, 2005) to show how the President is subordinate to the Parliament:

- Article 127 - The President is inaugurated before the Parliament. He takes an oath to comply with the Constitution.

- Article 129 - The President cannot leave the country without the consent of the Parliament. The consequence of not complying with this is his removal from office.

- Article 130 - It is up to the Parliament to impeach the President, if he commits crimes, and make him stand for trial.

- Article 131 - Should he resign, he must do so by presenting the resignation to the Parliament.

- Article 133 e) - The President can ONLY dissolve the Parliament and call for elections AFTER meeting with the parties AND the Council of State. (not at his own discretion)

- Article 133 f) - The President names the Prime Minister AFTER meeting with the parties AND taking into account the election results. (not at his own discretion)

- Article 133 g) - The President can ONLY remove the Prime Minister, and the rest of the government, from office if they present a threat to the democratic institutions. (not at his own discretion)

- Article 133 h) to p) - The President gives his approval, or not, to the naming of government officials BY the Prime Minister. (not at his own discretion)

- Article 135 c) - The President can ONLY declare war, or sign peace, under the Government's proposal, with CONSENT of the Parliament.

- Article 136 - The President can veto laws, returning them to the Parliament for discussion. If the Parliament, then, approves them by a majority, he CAN'T veto again.

- Article 138 - The President can only declare a State of Emergency with the Parliament's CONSENT.

- Article 161 - It is up to the Parliament to change the Constitution. It's up to the Parliament to discuss and approve laws.

- Article 286 - The President CANNOT veto changes to the Constitution.

- Article 167 - It is up to the Parliament, the Government, organized citizens and Regional Parliaments, to propose laws. (not the President)
