The President of the Republic, elected by the Parliament every five years, has a largely ceremonial role, choosing the dates of elections.
The Prime Minister is elected by Parliament and can only be removed by a constructive vote of no confidence.
The prime minister selects Cabinet ministers and has the exclusive right to dismiss them.
Each Cabinet nominee appears before one or more parliamentary committees in open hearings and must be formally approved by the President.
A unicameral, 386-member National Assembly (the Országgyűlés) is the highest organ of state authority and initiates and approves legislation sponsored by the Prime Minister.
National Parliamentary elections are held every four years; the next are due to be held in 2010.
An 11-member Constitutional Court has power to challenge legislation on grounds of unconstitutionality.
