What are the responsibilities of Hungary’s president?

In Hungary’s parliamentary system, the president of the republic serves a largely ceremonial role with limited authority. The president is elected by the National Assembly and may serve up to two five-year terms.1

The primary official responsibility of the president is to serve as the commander in chief of the armed forces. Beyond this duty, the president’s powers are restricted, as the main organ of state administration is the Council of Ministers, which is headed by the prime minister.1
