The dualist model of the 'Presidents': prodromes of the change in the parliamentary form of government

Abstract

n a few months' time, at the end of July 2021, the President of the Republic's white semester begins, i.e. the last six months of his mandate, during which he will not be able to dissolve Parliament. In this regard, it should be noted that the current Head of State has so far been careful not to use this instrument which, unlike in other legal systems - think of the French semi-presidential regime - does not have a political dimension.
In the Italian legal system, the President of the Republic, as is well known, can resort to the power of dissolution only in cases where the conditions of governability are no longer met, i.e. when there is no majority in Parliament capable of supporting and voting in favour of the government to be formed.
