The presidential institution in the Romanian constitutional system has an important role in ensuring the guarantor of the . The President of Romania is part of the executive power and meets the essential prerogatives of this power. As a model for organizing the executive power, the Romanian constitution establishes the bicephalic model. According to this dualist model recipe, executive power is distributed evenly between the head of state and the Government. In this article we will try to establish the legitimacy of the President of Romania to undertake exceptional measures. As such, the competence of the president also extends to exceptional measures in exceptional cases. Establishing exceptional competences in the president’s duties ensures him a somewhat superior position in the executive’s dualistic complex.
