    Abstract

    The aim of the study is to examine the nature of the Polish President’s signature on the Act. The author states that it is impossible to support both the view claiming that this signature has a purely legislative character as well as the one advocating a purely executive character. Instead, the author proposes a mixed, legislative-executive approach. For when the President can intervene in the legislative process and, for example, veto a bill, and yet does not do so, his signature has a legislative character. When, on the other hand, the head of state cannot constitutionally evade his signature, then it assumes an executive character. This also determines whether or not the President will become a name sponsor of the Act. If this character is legislative, then such sponsoring will take place. When, however, executive, it will not, because firstly the President had to show that he does not support the Act.
