New proposed law
New proposed law by the President would make changes to the Cabinet Minister's Bill and powers. The stated goal of the proposed law is to bring the Bill in line with the Constitution. It would give the right to the President to refuse to put forward a candidate for the PM to Parliament (under current legislation the President's hands are tied and they must put forward a candidate.) Also it would provide that a government's action plan needs to be approved at the same time that the PM candidate is voted on in Parliament. (UNIAN in ukr)
According to the proposed law, the PM could be dismissed be the President, if deemed incapable of serving the demands of office due to medical reasons. (Novynar)
